About me

I am currently working as a Data Scientist at Faculty AI after submitting my

PhD in Psychology at King's College London (KCL, England). During my PhD, I was part of the Lifespan Modelling and Psychometrics (LIFE-MAP) lab and an affiliated visiting researcher at the Stress & Development Lab at Harvard University (USA). I hold two Master's degrees from the University of Groningen (Netherlands) in “Clinical Psychology” and “Youth0-21, Society and Policy”.

My Research

In my PhD research, I investigated adolescence, mental health and neurodevelopment. My research capitalises on recent advances in statistical methodologies and large-scale cohort studies (e.g., ALSPAC, ABCD). I am committed to open science principles and interested in AI and science communication.

Research Interests

• Advanced statistical approaches and AI in large-scale studies

• How the brain, cognition, and environment drive individual differences in youth development

• Disadvantaged youth populations and adversity

• Digital Health
