Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.
My research focuses on the development of statistical models for applications in the social sciences. These models often contain dynamic or longitudinal components. Furthermore, I’m interested in science communication - for which data visualisation plays a key role - and the improvement of scientific practice in general.
Furthermore, I'm Director of Research of the Heymans Institute for Psychological Research.

I conduct my PhD studies under the supervision of Prof Dr Ernestine H. Gordijn, Prof Dr Katherine E. Stroebe & Dr Yasin Koç.
















My current research explores how individuals, teams, and organizations effectively share information under high time pressure, uncertainty, and risk of disruptions and crises. Some of the contexts where I have conducted my research are virtual hackathons and critical infrastructure organizations (NWO project 1, project 2). I primarily work with digital communication data and apply social network analysis to understand how information-sharing patterns affect the team and organizational performance and resilience.
