Director of the Connected Minds LabAssociate Professor at the Department of Developmental Psychology, University of AmsterdamAdjunct Research Scientist at the Center for Adaptive Rationality, Max Planck Institute for Human DevelopmentI have a broad background in both neuroscience and developmental psychology and my research broadly investigates the relation between the developing adolescent brain and changes in behavior. To approach these questions, I rely on computational models, social network analyses, agent based modeling and Game Theory.Using these techniques I have investigated the neurocognitive development of risky and impulsive financial decision-making, reinforcement learning, peer influence and social learning in social networks and social media.I teach courses in both psychology and artificial intelligence#socialmedia #socialnetworks #adolescence #learning #decision-making #AITwitter: https://x.com/Connected_Mindz Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/connectedmindslab.bsky.socialSubstack:https://substack.com/@mediaminds1
