Marit Broer
I am a PhD candidate at the department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry/Psychology. My research focuses on the impact of stressful life events on the development of psychopathology in children that have a parent with a severe mental disorder. I joined the R.I.O.T.s in May 2026. Being part of this team had been a meaningful addition to my PhD experience. We all share a passion for responsible and transparent science, which we try to spread among researchers across the Erasmus MC!
Laura Monteiro Rente Dias
I am a PhD candidate working at the BIGR group of the Erasmus Medical Center. I have a MSc in Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics from the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon, and my research focuses on the development of AI models for the early detection of Frontotemporal dementia using liquid and imaging biomarkers within the PREDICTFTD consortium. Additionally, I co-organise the Rotterdam RIOT Science Club meetings at Erasmus Medical Centre.
REPRESENTATIVES
Julius März
I am a Ph.D.-candidate at the department of Child and Adolescence Psychiatry at Erasmus MC Rotterdam. I obtained my Psychology Research Master´s degree at the University of Amsterdam, with a specialization in Clinical and Social Psychology. The focus of my current research is the usage of Ecological Momentary Assessment to evaluate the negative effects of daily life stress on mental health in children and adolescents. Furthermore, I am interested in the rise of science skepticism, as well as in early detection of affective disorders and psychosis. I am also a former member of the Student Initiative for Open Science (SIOS) in Amsterdam.
Jarinne Woudstra-de Jong
I am a PhD candidate in the Rotterdam Eye Hospital and Erasmus MC’s department of Medical Psychology. I studied Medical Psychology, Healthcare Management and Health Sciences at Tilburg University and Erasmus University Rotterdam. My current research focuses on the quality-of-life impact of different eye conditions, specifically diseases of the retina and vitreous. We are developing new patient-reported instruments through computerized-adaptive testing to measure disease burden and treatment burden. Regarding RIOT, I am specifically interested in transparent data management and regulations for non-WMO research.
Viktoria Ehret
I work as an Imaging Data Steward in the Imaging Office of BIGR at Erasmus Medical Center. I hold a PhD in Medical Physics (Deuterium MR Spectroscopy) from the Medical University of Vienna. In times of rising skepticism toward science, I believe it is essential to make the practice of science more visible and accessible. Research should be understandable beyond disciplinary boundaries and beyond academia, and it should be shared in a way that allows others to reproduce results and to consider failure as a source of learning. With the RIOT, I want to encourage a culture of exchange, transparency, and open discussion around scientific research.
Kamil Hiralal
I am a PhD fellow working within the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry/Psychology department of the Erasmus Medical Centre. I have completed a research master in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Faculty of Behavioral Sciences at Leiden University. My current research focusses on children with rare genetic variants and autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, I am interested in applying Big Data techniques to discover hidden patterns in phenotypical data of ASD patients. I co-organize the Rotterdam RIOT Science Club meetings at the Erasmus Medical Centre.
