Laura

Sels

Ik heb een expertise in romantische/interpersoonlijke relaties, emoties en welzijn (lees zeker eens https://www.durfdenken.be/nl/onderzoek-en-maatschappij/laura-sels-zoekt-de-succesformule-voor-een-goede-relatie voor wat meer informatie over mijn onderwerp).
Na mijn studies psychologie heb ik gedoctoreerd aan de KU Leuven op het onderwerp "Understanding Dynamic Interpersonal Emotional Processes in Romantic Relationships". Voor het ontwikkelen van mijn kennis heb ik onder meer lessen gevolgd, ben ik me gaan bijscholen aan de universiteit van Cambridge, heb ik een onderzoeksbezoek van enkele maanden gedaan bij één van de grondleggers van relatiewetenschappen in Amerika (prof. dr. Harry Reis), en heb ik een jaar in Zwitserland gewerkt.
Momenteel werk ik als FWO postdoctoraal onderzoeker in het family lab rond het beter begrijpen & verbeteren van emotionele processen in romantische relaties
(https://www.ugent.be/pp/ekgp/en/research/research-groups/family-lab/members).
Ondertussen heb ik heel wat artikels in relevante peer-reviewed tijdschriften gepubliceerd, verschillende boekhoofdstukken geschreven, op diverse internationale conferenties gepresenteerd, en enkele media bijdragen gedaan.

Ik ben momenteel ook bezig aan de master klinische psychologie, met het oog op het verder verrijken van mijn kennis en het combineren van onderzoek met de klinische praktijk.
