I do research in the clinical and mental health field and on research methodologies. I am particularly interested in (mental) health dynamics and how they occur in daily life. I want to understand how individual differences in within-person processes (e.g., how someone reacts to stressful events) are related to health and resilience. I am also interested in understanding if (and how) we can personalize interventions based on this information (e.g., positive psychology or compassion-focused interventions), so that they specifically target mechanisms relevant for an individual and more effectively and efficiently increase health and resilience. For this purpose, I use intensive longitudinal methods (e.g., experience sampling), which allows us to obtain an ecologically valid picture of individual mental health dynamics as they happen in daily life. I apply advanced statistical techniques to study these phenomena, for example dynamic structural equation modelling or network analyses. Besides, I do research on specific methodological aspects of intensive longitudinal methods. Here, I am interested in differences in between- and (individual) within-person models, how we can best measure constructs in daily life, and what impact different study design decision have on the conclusions we draw from intensive longitudinal studies. I also have ample experience in doing systematic reviews, applying (multilevel) meta-analyses and meta-regression models, and analyses of RCT data.
Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
