Researcher/Postdoc
Biography
I am an educational researcher in life sciences education research. My specific interest is in critical thinking in science and broadening life sciences students' perspectives with perspectives from the humanities and social sciences. My work relates to education about philosophy of science, the interface between science and society, ethics, science communication, Open Science, and data science.
At the moment, I am a postdoc at the Education Centre of the UMC Utrecht. In addition to my research work, I coordinate an impulse team within "De Nieuwe Utrechtse School." The objectives of this team are to increase understanding of the research process among various educational researchers in the UMCU, to improve the dissemination and valorisation of educational research, and to develop and implement a workflow to support evidence-informed innovation and educational research in the UMCU.
In addition, I am project leader of an USO project in the Faculty of Science focused on developing courses in practice-oriented history and philosophy of science for master's students in the Graduate School of the Life Sciences and the Graduate School of the Natural Sciences.
Further, I am part of the Community for Open Science in Education, which brings together educators with a shared ambition to integrate the core values of Open Science into higher education. Within this team, I conduct educational research on developing transferable pedagogies for an Open Science mindset.
