I am a multidisciplinary scientist, with a background in both social and exact sciences. I have joked occasionally about being the only psychologist in the world who likes mathematics. Years ago, I started studying chemistry, but never finished it. Afterwards, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Educational Science at the University of Twente, and a master’s in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Leiden. In March 2016, I started at the RIVM as a Ph.D. candidate, with risk communication on imperceptible occupational exposures as my research subject. Due to this research, I got involved with the RISC research group.
