I am an assistant professor at the Brain & Cognition department at University of Amsterdam (UvA) Psychology.
I received my BA & MA in Cognitive and Biological Psychology from the Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and received my PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Amsterdam.
Following my PhD, I was awarded a NWO Rubicon Scholarship to complete a 2 year post-doc at Harvard Univerity, in Mahzarin Banaji's Social Cognition Laboratory. Here my research focused on the influence that (unconscious) stereotypical knowledge has on low-level attentional processes, memory & language perception. Subsequently, I received a Marie Curie fellowship which allowed me to work together with Anil Seth at Sussex University, exploring the theoretical underpinning of how (social) predictions shape perceptual processing.
