Research and Innovation Interests
- Postdoc in MULTICAST – using a multidisciplinary approach to prediction and treatment of suicidality.
- My focus lies in studying the fluctuating nature of suicidal thoughts, making use of digital technologies, and developing prediction models to better prevent and treat suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
- In addition, I am interested in the question of whether patients respond differently to interventions (psychopharmacology, brain stimulation, psychotherapy).
