Marie Van de Velde
Profile
Marie obtained her Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology in 2021 at Ghent University. During her education she developed an interest in the fields of health psychology and clinical neuropsychology. Marie wrote her master’s thesis within the field of health psychology, about the impact of self-efficacy on physical activity behaviour in fibromyalgia patients. She did her internship at a revalidation centre for people with an acquired brain injury (CAR Ter Kouter). After graduation, she wanted to continue to expand her knowledge in both fields, combining an PhD in health psychology with a two year post academic education in clinical neuropsychology.
Marie joined the Ghent Health Psychology Lab in 2021, under the supervision of prof. dr. Geert Crombez, dr. Annick De Paepe and dr. Femke De Backere. Her work revolves around the development of a personalized mHealth intervention that supports cancer survivors in their daily physical activity, following a person-based approach throughout the whole process.

Marie De Breucker
I obtained my Master of Science in Theoretical and Experimental Psychology at Ghent University in 2021. During my six month research internship at the Ghent Experimental Psychiatry Lab, where I investigated an attentional bias to food in patients with anorexia nervosa, my interest in research was further enhanced, especially involving clinical populations.
