I work as a Research Software Engineer at the Netherlands eScience Center, working with researchers in the social sciences and humanities field. Before that, I worked as a researcher on music-induced states of absorption and related experiences such as flow and mind wandering. I focused on their distinct psychological mechanisms, and how they are associated with aesthetic experiences. My published works cover several topics, including absorption in relation to visual imagery, phenomenology of consciousness, and the application of network modeling. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Musicology from Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main.
