Bio

I am currently working as a PhD-student on the project "Data-driven shared decision making: Helping cancer patients choose the right treatment". The aim of the project is to provide patients with a personalized decision aid (a tool designed to help patients make treatment decisions). This project is a collaboration between the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences (TSHD), the Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (TSB) and the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organization (IKNL).
