I am a PhD candidate at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (University of Amsterdam). As part of the interdisciplinary "Under Pressure" project and the Hot Politics Lab, I research the link between societal threat perceptions and political attitudes and behavior. Specifically, I am interested in how different types of threatening stimuli within society are perceived, processed, and politicized. 

I have experience working with a broad range of research methodologies, from psychophysiology over self-report to qualitative interviewing. I am passionate about performing transparent, interdisciplinary research on relevant societal issues.

I have a research master’s degree in Social and Economic Psychology and studied at FU Berlin (Germany), Leiden University (Netherlands), and KU Leuven (Belgium).
