Psychosis

Most of my research is conducted with people who have a diagnosis of primary psychosis. In this research, I am interested in enhancing patient autonomy through technology as well as understanding patients’ challenges and strengths. Next to my ongoing research on NLP, I currently work on a DFG funded project on neurocognition in psychosis.
