BSc, MSc (research) - cum laude, DPhil

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry. I am particularly interested in the interplay between physical and mental health in adolescence, and the personalisation of treatment options. My work is inherently translational and cross-disciplinary, drawing on developmental and clinical psychology, and psychiatric epidemiology, with the aim to prevent mental health difficulties and optimise service delivery for those, who are currently struggling.

 

In my fellowship, I am exploring the relationship between pain and emotional distress in adolescents with chronic pain. This work builds on my doctoral thesis, where I have shown that pain is an independent correlate of suicidal risk in adolescents.  

 

Prior to completing my DPhil at the University of Oxford, I have completed both my Bachelor degree (BSc) in Psychology and my Research Master degree (MSc (research) – cum laude) in Clinical and Health Psychology at Leiden University, the Netherlands.

 

My work has been funded by the German foundations: Stiftung Oskar-Helene-Heim and FAZIT Stiftung.
