Maartje Schreuder, PhD (M.J.)

My current focus lies on forensic language and speech analysis, (cognitive biases in) forensic experts, report writing, and teaching.

Current research projects

• Several projects related to cognitive bias in forensic tasks
• Projects related to speaker identification and/or speech intelligibility
• Several projects related to speaker identification by earwitnesses
• other project, mainly as part of research education of students
