N [Family name]

Designed a parent-delivered, daily micro-training protocol (~15 min/day, 6–7 days/week) for infants across ~16 weeks, targeting gesture-specific imitation readiness and early sensorimotor control.

Developed a single-case experimental design (SCED) framework (e.g., N-of-1 / multiple-baseline across dyads) to obtain causal, individual-level inferences from a small number of infant–parent dyads.

Planned comprehensive outcome measures combining standardized motor scales, eye-tracking LWL paradigms to quantify attention, and parent-reported/behaviorally coded indicators of imitation and training fidelity.

Prepared research protocols compatible with ethical class-3 procedures in Belgium, ensuring low-risk, parent-delivered training aligned with standard care practices.

Contributed to a strategic framework designed to support future larger MSCA-style doctoral/doctoral network projects focused on early intervention and SCED methodology.

Mastered the setup and calibration of the Tobii Pro Fusion eye-tracker for precise data acquisition in developmental research.

Constructed Looking-While-Listening (LWL) tasks for infant experiments, incorporating image–sound pairings, AOI-based attention measures, and refined trial structures.

Explored and integrated solutions for complex stimuli, including audio stimuli, dual-image displays, and attention-contingent events within Tobii Pro Lab and complementary tools like PsychoPy.

Focused on practical issues such as infant-friendly calibration techniques, rigorous data quality checks, and foundational pre-processing steps to ensure robust experimental outcomes.

Built comprehensive conceptual foundations in EEG, including signal origin, referencing techniques, artifact identification, Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), and time–frequency analysis.

Initiated learning a full EEG data processing pipeline from recording to analysis using MATLAB + EEGLAB, preparing for advanced research applications.

Explored complementary training with MNE-Python to enhance flexibility and expand analytical capabilities for future EEG research.

Aimed to integrate advanced EEG measures into future SCED-style or longitudinal designs, specifically targeting developmental populations to deepen causal inferences.

Supervised multiple groups of undergraduate psychology students in the design and implementation of small-scale research projects, fostering independent research skills.

Guided students through critical research phases, including research question formulation, comprehensive literature searches, basic experimental design, data collection, and scientific reporting.

Provided targeted teaching support on research methodology, critical reading of academic articles, and scientific writing through small-group sessions and personalized tutorials.

Facilitated the development of foundational research competencies, preparing students for advanced academic pursuits and evidence-based practice.

Managed daily operations for several rental units, ensuring seamless communication with tenants and efficient coordination with external agents.

Navigated complex legal and fiscal aspects of property ownership in Belgium, including abatement for first purchases, early exit scenarios, and interactions with fiscal administration.

Developed robust organizational, negotiation, and long-term planning skills, directly applicable to the strategic management of research projects and resource allocation.

Demonstrated problem-solving abilities in day-to-day property management, enhancing adaptability and resourcefulness.

Organized and executed various events and activities, contributing to the non-profit's mission and community engagement.

Managed communication with members and external partners, fostering strong relationships and ensuring effective information flow.

Developed and implemented basic advertising and outreach strategies across social media, flyers, and online platforms to enhance organizational presence.

Cultivated experience in project coordination, collaborative teamwork, and public-facing communication, applicable to interdisciplinary research environments.

Served as a core member of a large online neuroscience Discord server, connecting students, professionals, and experts from diverse subfields and research labs globally.

Regularly contributed to and helped organize online talks and discussions, catering to both enthusiastic beginners and advanced audiences on topics from basic neuroscience to cutting-edge research and career development.

Facilitated informal mentoring, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities, bridging communication gaps between members at various career stages.

Cultivated strong leadership and organizational skills in a dynamic virtual environment, enhancing community engagement and knowledge dissemination.

Managed and moderated large Discord communities, successfully implementing community guidelines and resolving conflicts to maintain a positive and productive environment.

Structured channels and content to optimize learning and discussion, enhancing user engagement and information accessibility.

Organized and executed various online events, including talks, reading groups, and Q&A sessions, enriching community interaction and knowledge sharing.

Developed strong communication, mediation, and inclusive community-building skills, highly transferable to collaborative lab environments and interdisciplinary projects.
