David is a postdoc on the Enduring Rewards project. He will extend his PhD research by investigating how to capitalize on (financial) reward processes to help achieve sustainable health behavior change.

David is committed to study and develop digital tools that support health behavior change, preferably on the intersection between product development, scientific research, and policy making. David combines his postdoc in Delft with an appointment at Leiden University where he leads the Healthy Society Map project. This innovation project aims to improve public health policy in the province South-Holland.

Before entering academia, David worked as a behavioral analyst at the digital health startup Selfcare. There, he collaborated with the company's founders, software programmers, and designers to develop and implement a digital platform for health behavior change.
