I am a researcher and lecturer in the area of health psychology and quantitative research methods. I have a keen eye for detail without losing sight of the bigger picture and I enjoy sharing knowledge and ideas.
Research I am interested in factors and processes that affect well-being and health, especially among individuals facing illness or challenging circumstances. My recent research activities mainly focus on students’ and health professionals’ well-being and performance as well as on determinants of preventive behaviors such as vaccination. Enthusiastically, I work with complex data sets and apply advanced methods for statistical data analysis. I enjoy writing research reports and scientific papers.
Teaching I supervise and support students with pleasure, expertise and an eye for the individual needs of students. My aim is to make students enthusiast about the topics and to stimulate them to bring out the best in themselves. I use challenging learning methods and try as much as possible to actively involve students in their learning process. I consider teaching innovation important and use my broad (international) experience with (distance) teaching to implement it.
