Expertise
My PhD (2020-2024) unraveled how young adults (18-25) use, process, and are affected by food media content. As a Fulbright Alum, I conducted a research stay at Washington State University, where I started developing my expertise in psychophysiology. I enjoy conducting research that integrates this approach and combines objective and subjective measurement for a more comprehensive understanding of media use and effects. Currently, most of my time is spent on Bored2M (MIOS research group) investigating boredom and digital media selection from a media psychological and psychophysiological perspective. Alongside that, I work on De Oorzaak, the largest citizen science project on studying sound perception and its health effects via a multi-wave sensor study. My overarching research interests lie in exploring the impact of evolving media technologies and content, particularly on social media, on individuals’ media behaviors, processing, and well-being. By integrating the lens of media psychophysiology, I aim to unravel the intricate mechanisms of media use and persuasion, and contribute to a holistic understanding of individuals’ interactions with media.
