About me

Short bio

I obtained a PhD in Computer Science at University of Groningen in 2009. From 2009-2012, was a postdoctoral associate in the Ma Lab, which at the time was located at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. From 2013-2015, I was a research associate in the sensorimotor learning lab of Daniel Wolpert at the University of Cambridge. Currently I am an associate professor at the Psychology Department of Uppsala University.

Research interests

I am mainly interested in models of visual working memory, perception, and decision-making. See the research page for more information on my work. You can find a copy of my CV here.
