I am an educational psychologist and work as an associate professor at the Department of Educational Development and Research & School of Health Professions Education. My main research interests lie in the field of metacognition and expertise development. More specifically, I'm interested in how we can promote self-monitoring and self-regulation of learning activities in students (adults and children). I conduct research in the domains of text comprehension and problem solving. Prior to working at ED&R, I worked at the department of Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where I co-developed the new curriculum and obtained my PhD.
