dr. Kevin van Schie

Bio

Kevin van Schie is an experimental psychologist who is fascinated by how individuals can change their own memories. Therefore, his research is heavily grounded in the (neuro)science of memory with a special focus on memory modulation, forgetting, resilience, and stress. In laboratory studies he investigates exactly how these topics are involved in improving treatment and prevention of psychological disorders.

He obtained his PhD in psychology in 2018 from Utrecht University. After that he was an assistant professor in clinical psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. In 2019 he was awarded an NWO Rubicon grant and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge for 2 years. Currently, he is an assistant professor at Tilburg University.
