With a background in Cognitive Neuroscience, I have graduated from 
Maastricht University in 2022 with a thesis entitled "The Effects of Frontal
Theta Stimulation on Risk-Taking Behaviour." My research interests revolve
around decision-making, reward processing and motivation.

I am PhD student working on a project "Neurocognitive Phenotyping of the Affective States" under the supervision of Marc Guitart-Masip. Our goal is to design a decision-making battery capturing differect aspects of motivation and reinforcement learning and to test it on a general and clinical population.

Before starting a PhD at KI, I had been appointed as a research assistant at the Aging Research 
Centre (ARC).  My primary focus was developing a novel test battery of
decision-making abilities.
