Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeroen Benjamins is an assistant professor in psychology with a PhD from Utrecht University and nine years of post-PhD research and teaching experience focused on sleep, insomnia phenotyping, and longitudinal measurement of individual behavior. He blends rigorous psychometric and neuro/biopsychological methods—including eye tracking and neuroimaging—with strong web and data engineering skills (HTML, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Matlab, Python) to build and maintain large-scale web assessment systems like the Netherlands Sleep Registry. His work has created a unique database of ~13,000 sleep phenotypes used to classify insomnia subtypes and pursue biomarker discovery, and he has implemented international adaptations of these web tools. Jeroen supervises PhD students and teaches across experimental and health psychology, pairing hands-on programming with experimental design. He is particularly interested in uncovering heterogeneity in patient populations through advanced statistical techniques and translating research findings to public audiences. An underappreciated strength is his history of shipping pragmatic, reusable research infrastructure that enabled cross-country collaborations beyond academia.
