Overview

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Within the Department of Communication Science, I am part of the Media Psychology Group and I research 1) the ways in which adolescents and young adults use digital media; 2) the potential effects that this behaviour can have on their cognition, mental health, and well-being; and 3) the knowledge and skills that enable them to thrive in a digital society.

I am an advocate of mixed methods and routinely combine quantitative, qualitative, and computational methods. I also have experience with systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Across these approaches, I follow open science practices and, wherever possible, I aim to make my materials, data, and analyses publicly available. My research has been published in leading journals in Socio-Informatics (and related fields), such as: Nature Human Behaviour; Journal of Communication; Technology, Mind and Behaviour; JAMA Pediatrics; Media Psychology; _Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science; Information Technology & People; Computers & Education; Behaviour Research Methods; and Computers in Human Behaviour.
