Since 2020, I have been working at the Antwerp Centre for Digital Humanities and Literary Criticism (ACDC) at the University of Antwerp on my PhD project titled "This is Who I Could Be: Storyworld Possible Selves and Fictionality." This project focuses on examining the effects of fictionality on narrative engagement using empirical research methods. My research interests encompass cognitive narratology, reader response research, fictionality studies and qualitative research. Additionally, I am affiliated with the Story Lab research group at the University of Twente.
