Julian Burger

PhD student
Clinical Psychology & Psychological Methods

Bio

I am a PhD student at the University Medical Center Groningen in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam. My primary research interest lies in personalising the treatment of psychological disorders. More often than not, such approaches rely on data-driven algorithms that lack the flexibility to incorporate clinically relevant considerations.

I am developing new methodology that allows practitioners to include such considerations into the estimation of idiographic systems.

This led to the development of PREMISE (the Prior Elicitation Module for Idiographic System Estimation), a free web-application developed for clinical practitioners. This software is still under development.

A description of my project, funded by the NWO research talent scheme, can be found here. The project is supervised by dr. Sacha Epskamp, Date C. van der Veen, Harriëtte Riese, and prof. dr. Robert A. Schoevers.
