Profile
I am currently on the cusp of obtaining my PhD from the University of Amsterdam. My research passion lies in uncovering ways to encourage healthy lifestyle choices. My PhD research revolves around the design and evaluation of a mobile application for the Supreme Nudge project. Utilizing the JITAI (Just-In-Time Adaptive Intervention) framework, this app, uniquely tailored to the individual, offers real-time feedback and advice on physical activity. Its innovative coaching system sends user-specific tips during pivotal decision-making moments throughout the day, such as suggesting a detour through a nearby park to reach daily step goals.
As a postdoctoral researcher, I have pivoted to a project centered on pandemic preparedness. My goal is to enhance compliance with preventive measures against viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. By employing both online and field experiments, I am delving deep into the effectiveness of communication strategies that promote preventive behaviors. Additionally, I am keen to understand the combined influence of communication and environmental interventions.
