I obtained my M.Sc. in Theoretical and Experimental Psychology in 2022. Currently, I am a PhD student at the EXPLORA lab and the LIPlab within the Department of Experimental Clinical and Health Psychology at Ghent University. My PhD research applies a functional-cognitive framework to social-cognitive skills, such as imitation and perspective-taking, in adults with and without autism. More specifically, I study social behavior from a learning-psychology perspective, based on the idea that social skills are learned behaviors acquired through interaction with our environment.
