• Who is Suzannah Stuijfzand •
I am a research psychologist currently working as a post doc within the Lausanne Perinatal Research group led by Prof. Antje Horsch. The group investigates perinatal mental health, specifically we investigate the impact of stress and trauma in the perinatal period (the time before, during and after birth) on mothers and their families.
My background is firmly routine in developmental psychology. My research masters in development and socialization in childhood and adolescence and my PhD was on Cognitive processes and their association to Anxiety in young children. My career so far has led me from the UK to the Netherlands for my masters, back to the UK for my PhD and finally my post-doc has brought me here to Lausanne.
My research has necessitated an interest in diverse methodologies in an attempt to overcome the limitations in standard measures (i.e. reaction times) when studying children. I have also has to become accustomed to longitudinal data in order to study development. It is through these elements of my research that have brought me into contact with R in an attempt to make the best use of my data to answer my research questions.
