I aim to better understand the etiology of anxiety and depression to ultimately provide preventative strategies for children and adolescents from the general population and at-risk.

Key approaches: 1) advanced longitudinal and epidemiological methods for causal inference, 2) exposome and biological data (e.g., neurobiology, omics), and 3) a precision psychiatry approach 

I care about open and reproducible research and co-founded the Rotterdam site of the R.I.O.T. Science Club.
