I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Psychological Methods departement at the University of Amsterdam. My main interests lie in three research lines.
First, I am part of a team that is currently creating and validating an agent-based pedestrian model (Minds for Mobile Agents; M4MA). With this model, we aim to capture and predict pedestrian in a wide range of scenarios.
Additionally, I investigate the applicability of (non)linear models for understanding intensive longitudinal data, exemplified by my research on the Affective Ising Model (AIM). In this research, I typically focus on both the model’s assumptions and whether the model can reproduce the patterns we observe in the data, finding that nonlinear patterns cannot always be explained away.
Finally, I am interested in in a wide range of psychometric questions of which I am currently working on two. First, I am investigating the reliability and validity of the measurements we obtain from an RTLS positioning systems that we use to collect data for the M4MA project. Second, I am interested in the connection between the qualitative phenomena that we are interested in and the quantitative ratings that we typically obtain from our studies (e.g., rating scales in emotion research).
