About Me

Functions

I feel it as my mission to empower individuals and society to enhance their safety for both physical threats (disasters and crises) as well as social threats (other people). In four subdomains, I focus on 1) how to facilitate sustainable behaviors with a particular emphasis on understanding the psychology of animal product consumption, 2) how to keep citizens safe from disasters and crises, 3) how to reduce harmful and financially costly deceptive behaviour, and 4) how nonverbal mimicry can foster emotional understanding and social behaviour.

    Education

    I have coordinated, developed, and taught courses in the bachelor (1st, 2nd, and 3rd year), as well as in the master and research master on academic skills (literature search, writing, presenting, designing studies, analysing data) and on diverse topics of Social and Organizational Psychology (e.g., introduction to social psychology, group dynamics, social influence, cognition, emotions, intergroup relations). I was educational director of the bachelor and (pre)master programmes of Psychology at the University of Twente (2016-2023). Currently, I provide lectures for the courses Psychology of Sustainability, Psychology of Safety, Psychology and Crime, and Group Dynamics and Interventions. Also, I supervise 2nd year project groups, internships, bachelor and master theses.
