Currently, am a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Gambling Research (CGR) at the Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. I am interested in emotions in gambling episodes.
I have done my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Frederick Verbruggen and Prof. Joël Billieux at Ghent University. I have also done a 1-year postdoc with Prof. Verbruggen in the Cognition, Behavior & Ecology (CoBE) Lab at the Department of Experimental Psychology, Ghent University. During my PhD I investigated cognitive (control) mechanisms and their role in gambling. I specifically investigated changes in response speed (speed of play) after sub-optimal outcomes such as errors or losses in the broader context of impulsivity. A short thread on my PhD research can be found here. In my free time, I love to go rock climbing outdoors. |
