Profile
Ana da Silva Pinho is a postdoctoral researcher at the Connected Minds Lab in the department of Developmental Psychology at the University of Amsterdam.
Her research focuses on how young people engage with social media and how this relates to their mood and mental health. To investigate these dynamics, she uses computational models, experimental designs, and integrate real-world and self-reported data. Before her postdoc, she was a PhD candidate at the same lab and university, studying social learning strategies during adolescence in the context of school-based social networks and social media, with a particular focus on social norms and feedback. -
