CARE Team Member

Ph.D. (KU Leuven), M.Sc. Clinical and Health Psychology (KU Leuven), B.Sc. Psychology (KU Leuven)

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Master’s and Ph.D. degree from KU Leuven (Belgium) and recent work experience as a lecturer and Clinical Psychologist in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) from 2019 until early 2022. Prior, I combined my Ph.D. research with clinical work at KU Leuven’s academic outpatient mental health clinic in Belgium. I primarily work with children and adolescents and specialise in assessing and treating behavioral, social, and emotional problems. My largest expertise and area of interest lies in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). More specifically, I use experimental tasks to study underlying deficits in reinforcement learning and potential remediation strategies in children with ADHD. More recently, I conducted studies on well-being during Covid-19 and parenting styles in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and I have ongoing research projects in Japan and Belgium on reinforcement learning in children with ADHD.

Currently, I am teaching and supervising Master's level students in the NUS Clinical Psychology program.
