Ana Barbosa Mendes

Junior Representative

I am a PhD researcher at the Erasmus School of Philosophy. I have a background in biomedical sciences and psychology, but have previously been engaged in interdisciplinary projects in a range of research fields.

My current research interests involve public engagement in science, responsible research and innovation and transdisciplinary research. I am also broadly interested in the field of metascience, particularly under a perspective of philosophy of science and science and technology studies.

My research interest lies in investigating how brain diseases develop, and what we can do to prevent them. I obtained a BSc in Psychology, and an MSc in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the department of Epidemiology, where I investigate how medication use relates to the development of dementia.

Junior Representative

I am a PhD fellow working at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge.
My research is aimed at disentangling the relationship between technology use and youth psychopathology. Specifically, I examine under which circumstances social media use brings benefits or amplifies risks in relation to adolescents' mental health. I graduated in Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam and subsequently attended an MSc in Psychological Research at the University of Oxford.

I am in the middle of my PhD at the department of psychiatry, Erasmus MC. My research is on trauma and its psychopathological consequences, specifically focusing on adolescents. I also care deeply about open science and its practical implications for better scientific inference.

Somaye Dehban

Junior Representative

I am a Dutchified Iranian and Community Guardian. My motto in life is “Sharing is Power”. I am also pursuing a part-time PhD at Rotterdam School of Management on Scaling the Impact of Cross-Sector Partnerships. I run my own company supporting organizations building a coalition of unlikely allies to upscale their impact through a nexus synergistic model. I have developed this model based on my 20 years of work experience, PhD research, collaboration with political institutes and civil society organizations. My upbringing after the revolution and during the war as well as rebuilding my life in exile have also influenced the design of my synergistic model that I have called “Verbinding”, the Dutch term for inter-connectedness.

I am a Psychology student with a double Bachelor in Philosophy at the Erasmus University. I am very passionate about both open science and good research practices, as well as their respective philosophical foundations.
