Profile
I am an assistant professor in clinical neuropsychology, of the section Brain & Cognition at the Department of Psychology. Since 2005 I work in a rehabilitation center, where I received my registration as a clinical neuropsychologist and behavioral therapist. My PhD project focused on insomnia following acquired brain injury, with a special interest in the efficacy of a blended online cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia following brain injury. My drive is to combine clinical practice and research for a better understanding of how brain injury affects the way we think, feel and behave; and what can be done to optimize the well-being of people with acquired brain injuries.
