I also lead other research projects exploring the association between trustworthiness judgements and paranoia in clinical and non-clinical populations.

- MSc (Res) Behavioural and Social Sciences (2016-2018 | University of Groningen)

- Research interests
-
I am particularly interested in understanding the underlying psychological mechanisms of severe mental health conditions, such as psychosis, through the use of experimental, epidemiological, and psychophysiological methods, and exploring how they could potentially inform clinical interventions.
