I am a PhD researcher in the departments of Human Resource Studies and Medical & Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. My research explores the complex intersection of systemic organisational structures and individual coping mechanisms. Rather than viewing stress and strain solely as an individual deficit, I take a systems-thinking approach to investigate how high-demand work environments and implementation barriers (such as excessive workload) constrain employee wellbeing and intervention success.

My core research interests involve:

• Multilevel Occupational Stress: Examining how organizational design, policy, and resource constraints interact with individual-level psychological resources (e.g., JD-R and COR theories)

• Person-Centred Methodologies: Using person-centred methods to identify distinct workforce risk profiles, moving beyond the average effects fallacy to understand subgroup vulnerabilities

• Objective vs. Subjective Health: Triangulating self-reported strain (e.g. exhaustion, rumination) with objective physiological markers (e.g. blood pressure, sleep quality) to reveal the hidden biological costs of workplace stress

• Micro-Interventions & Implementation Science: Utilising Experience Sampling Methods (ESM) and adapted Intervention Mapping to evaluate brief, scalable tools. I specifically focus on the systemic barriers that prevent these individual-level interventions from translating into objective health recovery

My goal is to move occupational health beyond "band-aid" solutions by helping organisations design structurally aligned, subgroup-sensitive wellbeing strategies that address the root causes of workplace stress.

This interdisciplinary research falls at the intersection of health psychology, HRM, work/organisational psychology, and epidemiology, and is funded by Herber Simon Research Institute at Tilburg University.

I supervise Bachelor's and Master's students across both HRM and Psychology, and facilitate Work and Health Psychology workgroups within the Bachelor’s HRM program.
