Biography
With a background in psychology (BSc), criminology (BSc, MSc), and health sciences (Research Master), my research interests span multiple disciplines. Within my PhD, I focus on prolonged grief in traumatically bereaved individuals, with a particular interest in app-based micro-interventions, micro-randomized trial designs, and the use of Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) to capture dynamic processes.
Beyond my PhD, I have a strong interest in longitudinal research on eating behaviors and disordered eating in children and adolescents.
From a criminological perspective, I am interested in war and genocide crimes and the role of media framing in shaping public discourse around conflict.
