Profile
Luisa is a PhD student at the department of Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. She was also a visiting PhD student at the University of Melbourne, Department of Management and Marketing. She is a board member of the pHResh network for PhD students in the fields of Human Resource Management and Organisational Behavior and a member of the Researcher Mental Health Observatory (ReMO). Together with her sister Lara Solms, she co-hosts the podcast PhD Unplugged. In PhD Unplugged, PhD students talk to professional coaches about PhD-specific struggles and how to overcome them. The well-being and and career experiences of PhD students are also central themes in Luisa’s research. Questions that she is particularly interested in are:
1. What factors determine PhD students’ well-being (and lack thereof)?
2. What is the role of personal resources (e.g., self-compassion) and individual strategies (e.g., boundary management) for PhD students’ well-being and functioning?
3. How can we use scientific evidence to develop support interventions for PhD students?Expertise and research fields
- Well-being in the context of academia and PhD education
- Personal and job-related resources
- Interruptions at work
- Strategies and interventions to support well-being in the workplace
