My scientific career started at the lab of Dr. Frans Cornelissen, studying brightness perception and its neural correlates, after which I received my master's degree in Experimental Psychology (minor: Neuro-/biopsychology) from the University of Groningen in 2003. I went onwards to graduate under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frans Verstraten (currently at the University of Sydney) at Utrecht University. I defended the resulting thesis in 2008. It can be found here. After that, I worked a little more than half a year at Intomart GfK (now Nielsen IQ), a marketing research company, as an eye tracking specialist. Thereafter, I've worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience / VU University Amsterdam with Prof. Dr. Eus van Someren on insomnia (online research, Dutch Sleep Registry). Currently, I'm working as an assistant professor at Utrecht University for two Psychology departments on applying mobile eye-tracking techniques in different fields of psychology.
