Biography

Marlies Houben is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University. Her research focuses on affective dynamics in daily life and the potential mechanisms underlying affective changes over time. She investigates the concurrent and prospective relationships between mental health changes in the general population and those with psychiatric diagnoses, with a significant emphasis on understanding affective dysregulation in individuals with borderline personality disorder. Her approach relies on experience sampling methods, which involve tracking people's psychological processes using smartphones combined with wearables that monitor psychophysiological responses to personally relevant stimuli in daily life. Over the past years, Marlies has received personal grants to further her research and has been recognized with awards such as the Young Researcher Award in 2016 from the European Society for the Study of Personality Disorders.
