Welcome to my personal home page,

Since 2006 I've been working as an assistant professor at the Forensic Psychology Section of the Department of Clinical Psychological Science at Maastricht University. This section is responsible for two master tracks at Maastricht University: Psychology & Law and Forensic Psychology.

My current research focuses on the effects of alcohol on crime-related memories (alcohol blackouts), malingering, and feigning amnesia.

I also do casework for the The Maastricht Forensic Institute (TMFI) on a regular basis. Typical cases involve the investigation of the reliability of statements, claim of amnesia, alcohol black-outs, and risk-assessments.

Our forensic psychology section investigates issues like memory distortions, meta-memory beliefs, false memories, malingering, feigning amnesia, traumatic memory, lie detection, psychopathy, eye-witness memory and more. If you want to know more about these topics, visit the homepages of my colleagues.

Thank you for visiting.
