Ellen Stroemer is a PhD candidate in the Department of Health Sciences, section Community and Occupational Medicine, at the University Medical Center Groningen. She holds a Master’s degree in Talent Development and Creativity from the University of Groningen and has a background in Psychology. Her research interests are in the interplay between person-specific and contextual factors over time and their influence on daily life, with a focus on real-world dynamics and individual variability.

As part of RT1, her PhD project investigates the temporal dynamics of stressors, stress responses, and contextual influences, using data from Dutch cohorts such as Lifelines. She will also contribute to the enrichment of the cohorts by collecting new data through methods such as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and ambulatory assessment, which allow for real-time measurement of stress and context in daily life.
