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 focus on 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 investigates the temporal dynamics of daily-life stressors and stress responses across adulthood, combining conceptual, computational and empirical approaches. Her work includes a scoping review on daily-life stress dynamics from a lifespan and life course perspective. In addition, she will model and simulate the dynamic interplay between stressor exposures and stress responses, and contribute to future cohort enrichment by collecting new data through methods such as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and ambulatory assessment. Her aim is to clarify how and why daily-life stress response trajectories change with age and across different life stages.
