About me

I study how the brain makes sense of the visual world around us with (and despite) eye movements. I'm an assistant professor in Experimental Psychology at the University of Groningen. Previously, I was a visiting professor for Biological Psychology at Berlin's Humboldt-University (2018-2022) and visiting researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (2022-2023).
