Research
I graduated with a master’s degree in Neuropsychology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and then completed a master’s degree in Statistical Data Analysis at Ghent University (UGent). As my interest in cognitive and neurocognitive sciences grew, I concentrated on gaining knowledge and experience in different research topics within the field. I attach particular importance to interdisciplinary research and good statistical practices.
I am now pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Axel CLEEREMANS (CO3) and Prof. Emilie CASPAR (M&SB lab). My research focuses on “Aha!” or “Eureka” moments, also called insight problem solving, and aims at understanding the cognitive processes underlying problem solving. I will investigate these processes with a new muti-step problem paradigm and an approach integrating knowledge from numerous research subjects, such as attention, consciousness and social psychology. To investigate insight problem solving, I will employ techniques, both behavioural and (neuro-)physiological, drawn from various disciplines within the cognitive sciences.
