Kiki is an assistant professor at CHANGE Leiden at Leiden University. Kiki’s research focuses on neurocognitive development and the role of social relations and social status on prosocial decision making, executive functions, and risk-taking in gifted and typically developing children and adolescents. She studies these processes using techniques such as Event Related Potentials (ERPs) and fMRI. Kiki received a personal grant from the AXA Research Fund to investigate the neural correlates of developmental differences in social cognition during social rejection and risk-taking.
