My PhD project was focused on the subjective experience of rewards in individuals under treatment in forensic psychiatry. More specifically, we targeted:
  1. Reward preferences of different forensic psychiatric populations, using a structured mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative measures;
  2. How ecologically valid rewards with varying subjective values affect learning, decision-making and risky behavior, as well as the electrophysiological (EEG) correlates of these processes, in violent offenders with high levels of psychopathic traits.

Biography

In 2006, I obtained my Masters degree in Biological and Cognitive Psychology, at Erasmus University, Rotterdam (EUR) and subsequently worked as a academic tutor and trainer in different psychology courses at EUR. After that, I was involved as a junior researcher in studies on memory in children (EUR/Unilever) and on vulnerability for substance abuse in adolescents (Erasmus Medical Centre, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry). During the next three years, I was an academic teacher in the Developmental Psychology Department of Tilburg University, mainly involved in research-related courses. I then moven on to carrying out my PhD project at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Centre for Cognition), in a collaboration between the Pompestichting Center for Forensic Psychiatry and the SAMBA group. Furthermore, I was a member of the Student Board of the Society for the Scientific Study of Psychopathy (SSSP). I am now a student advisor at the Dept. of Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University.
