Meet the council
Isabel Pacheco (Hi, my name is Isabel. I am in the second year of my PhD in Environmental Psychology.My PhD is part of a bigger EU project on the circular economy. I specifically look at circular consumption and citizenship behaviours and what factors underlie whether people engage in these behaviours or not.In my free time I like to go bouldering, meditate, cook & especially eat nice food, make bad jokes, and see friends or talk to them on the phone (as my friends are quite spread over many cities).
In the council I hope to help create a warm and supportive atmosphere for PhDs to work, with their needs and wishes being heard and acted upon, and also to ensure that PhDs feel included and part of a supporting and open PhD community.

This work is part of the national Stress-In-Action consortium, where I also serve as a Project Assistant in Groningen.As the Chair of the PhD Council, I aim to strengthen connections among PhD students through engaging in social and professional activities while prioritizing their well-being. My goal is to foster a supportive and cohesive community for all PhD students at BSS.

Hello, I am Yong Zhang, 2nd year PhD student in the department of psychometrics and statistics.

I love kickboxing, cinema, language learning and pizzas! Through the PhD council, I hope to connect with fellow PhD students at BSS and facilitate a community of early-career researchers that support each other.
Hello, my name is Jimte Ferwerda. I am a 1st year PhD student at GION education/research/Teacher Education Department.
