I am currently an Associate Professor at the Behavioural Science Institute at Radboud University. I joined Radboud University in 2014. Before that, I did my BSc and MSc at Leiden University and my PhD at Utrecht University.
A Our meta-analysis on reward-driven distraction was accepted for publication in Psychological Bulletin, it will come out soon. Lovely work by Dorottya Rusz. B Our paper on the temporal dynamics of sedentary behavior came out in PNAS. Lovely work by Pam ten Broeke. A blog post about this work can be found here.
