I graduated in psychology at Leiden University and received my Ph.D. from Tilburg University. After this, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Marketing Department of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Since September 2009, I've worked at Leiden University as assistant professor of social and organizational psychology.
My research focuses on decision making -- specifically, on the question of when people decide not to act. For example, I study the roles of missed opportunities and mixed feelings about staying inactive, and I am interested in who especially tends to involve previous events in their decisions, when this leads to action/inaction, and when to positive/negative feelings.
