I ask questions such as: How do people behave on a daily basis? What is their thinking style? What prevents or interferes with their daily tasks? And most importantly, what can they actively participate in?

In my dissertation paper for masters degree, I explored the validity of a questionnire about  computer and internet useage. The paper was published in 2014. The questionnaire is called a user profile on a computer and the internet (ICUP) and since it came out, the whole digital field has advanced rapidly and the content is slightly different, but the principles and questions are still relevant today.

For my doctoral research, I used eye movement tracking glasses to observe people's behavior at the supermarket while they performed a task, and the combination of real-time observations and documentation gave me interesting insights about how the brain functions during routine actions. Research is discussed in the recorded lectures.

This year I have made a change in the study population  from people who deals with mental illness to the adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. I meet this population  frequently in the rehabilitation committees (my "day job"). It is my goal to understand how they deal with their challenges, how they reach a state of emotional difficulty, and how it can be prevented.

 

I am still looking for a postdoctoral fellowship abroad as the next step. Stay tuned for an update!
