Team members
The core team of WARN-D consists of Dr Eiko Fried (Associate Professor & Team Leader), Carlotta Rieble (PhD student), Ricarda Proppert (PhD student), and Barbara van der Vaart (Project Coordinator).
Dr. Eiko Fried is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at Leiden University. He is interested in how to best understand, measure, model, and classify mental disorders, and works at the intersection of clinical psychology, psychiatry, epidemiology, methodology, and complexity science. He is part of several large-scale studies that conceptualize mental health problems as emergent properties that arise from complex, dynamical, biopsychosocial systems, including this 5-year WARN-D project aiming to develop an early warning system for depression. He recently received the Rising Star Award and Janet Taylor Spence Award for transformative early career contributions to psychological science. You can find his publications, lectures, blog, and other information here.
Carlotta Rieble is a PhD student in the WARN-D project. She graduated from the Research Master’s program in psychology at the University of Amsterdam after studying psychology and sociology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Carlotta is interested in researching the person-specific dynamics of mental health and embracing the complexity of the biopsychosocial systems that give rise to mental health problems. You can find her Leiden University website here.
Ricarda Proppert is a PhD student in the WARN-D project. Having followed the combined Research Master in Clinical- and Health Psychology at Leiden University, she hopes to continue developing her skills as a science-practitioner. She’s fascinated by the intricate challenges psychology faces as a science: What most scientists may call random error variance, following a normal distribution with a mean of zero, might be the most insightful source of information to a clinician or an individual. In her research, she hopes to bridge that gap by studying how people’s experiences of depression are similar, as well as the extent to which they are unique. Ultimately, she hopes to find ways in which both sources of information can be utilized to inform our understanding of mental health. You can find her Leiden University website here.
Barbara van der Vaart is our project coordinator. She obtained an MSc degree in Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University. For her thesis, she conducted field research in Malawi on indigenous medical practices. She also studied Child and Adolescent Psychology in Utrecht and is very interested in this particular research. Before she joined the WARN-D team, she worked as a project officer for an ERC Advanced Grant project at the Delft University of Technology. You can find her Leiden University website here.
Science is better and also more fun if practiced as a team effort, and many more people are involved in our project than just the core team. Thanks to previous and current team members for your efforts!
