Summary
Claudia Van Borkulo is a methodological psychologist and research leader with 12 years of experience translating complex mental-health questions into rigorous, novel statistical approaches. She earned a cum laude PhD and an MSc in Psychological Methodology, and as a Postdoc at the University of Amsterdam and AMC developed a multi-timescale network modeling framework—work recognized with a VENI grant—within the interdisciplinary Urban Mental Health consortium. Her research blends theoretical rigor and applied inquiry into why individuals differ in susceptibility to urban-related mental health problems, and she has shifted focus from cross-sectional methods to intensive within-person measurement. Beyond academia she combines governance and teaching roles at De Kleiacademie and freelance work, demonstrating an ability to bridge research, education, and organizational leadership. Colleagues value her for turning abstract methodological challenges into usable tools and curricula that advance both science and practice. Based in Purmerend, she brings an uncommon mix of deep quantitative skill, interdisciplinary collaboration, and hands-on community engagement.
