I am a PhD candidate at at the department of Social, Health and Organizational Psychology and a member of the Goallab.
The aim of my PhD project is to investigate the behavioral and cognitive factors that influence reading comprehension in a digital context. To accomplish this, we will investigate how the process-level cognitive mechanisms that drive (dis)engagement during reading change based on the reading context and the reader. We will do this by exploring the phenomenon of mind wandering (task-unrelated thought) during reading. Our research will serve as a theoretical and methodological foundation for educational interventions that promote reading behavior in a digital age. We also aim to test an automated, data-driven methodology for estimating instances of task-unrelated thought during reading. This research is part of the project.
I studied psychology at Leiden 木瓜福利影视, where I obtained my bachelor's as well as my research master's degree specializing in cognitive neuroscience. I also have experience with data science due to my master鈥檚 thesis project and subsequent work at the Codelab at Leiden 木瓜福利影视.
