    About myself

    I work as an Assistant Professor at the section of Developmental Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. 

    From January to July 2009 I was a visiting research scholar at the section of Biological Anthropology at University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA).

    I have received my PhD degree, based on the defense of my thesis 'Towards an integration of evolutionary psychology and developmental science: New insights from evolutionary developmental biology', on December 3rd, 2008.

    My research interests

    General:

    - evolutionary psychology

    - dynamic systems theory

    - evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) biology

    More specific:

    - evolution of psychiatric disorders

    - the modularity-of-the-mind debat

    - evolution of intelligence

    - evolution of sex differences
