About me

I’m the Open Science Coordinator at the VU Amsterdam and a postdoctoral researcher at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.

At the VU, I’m initiating and managing projects that promote open access, open data, open software and open education. I strive to make the scientific process more transparent and its pillars (research, education, communication, leadership) more fairly and evenly appreciated.

At the Donders Institute, I work with Prof dr. Marcel van Gerven and his Artificial Cognitive Systems group. In several research projects, I apply state-of-the art methods from artificial intelligence to study learning, perception and imagery.
I completed my PhD in the group of Prof. dr. Christian Doeller, where I combined psychophysics, fMRI and multivariate analyses to investigate hippocampal memory retrieval.

My interests include open science initiatives, the neural mechanisms of cognition, artificial intelligence and data science.
