I am an associate professor at the University of Twente. 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 my recent lines of work, I have been studying how to protect citizens from disasters and crises (e.g., climate crisis, pandemics) with a particular emphasis on risk communication.

I am currently interested in facilitating behaviour change towards a more sustainable and healthy consumption pattern, including the acceptance of new sustainable food technologies. I investigate sustainability from a multi-level perspective, focusing on the role of citizens, governments, and organizations. By focusing on how to facilitate the protein transition, I contribute to the solutions of the most urgent challenges of our time: to fight climate change and to prevent future pandemics.

I have (re)developed, coordinated, 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 Psychology, Communication, and Management (e.g., introduction to psychology, sustainability, group dynamics, social influence, cognition, emotions, crime, resilience and risk management, risk perception and communication). Also, I supervise 2nd year project groups, internships, bachelor and master theses.Ā
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.
