In 2006 I graduated from Media Technology, with a minor in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence, after which I started working as a programmer and game designer. In 2010 I completed my Masters Degree in Computer Sciences at the University Utrecht. My graduate project I completed at the Department of Psychiatry at the University Medical Centre Utrecht where I am currently working as a PhD candidate.
During my PhD I have had the opportunity to collaborate with two institutes in London, University College London and the Institute of Psychiatry. Even though the research we have done is still work in progress, the collaboration was already fruitful.
