I work as a Software Developer at Statistics Netherlands (CBS), working with researchers in the environmental domain. Before that, I worked as a PhD student and postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (Frankfurt am Main), where I worked 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.

This website is focused on my academic research activities and published works, covering topics on absorption in relation to visual imagery, phenomenology of consciousness, and the application of psychometric network modeling. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Musicology from Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main.
