Short presentation
My research mainly concerns different aspects of ADHD. In ongoing studies, we study the ability to regulate emotions in adolescents with ADHD and the outcome of different ways to assess ADHD. I am also interested in how a diagnosis affects identity and self-image. In other projects, we study cognitive development in craniosynostosis, a developmental abnormality in the brain.
