Eva Van Der Ploeg is a research psychologist with a focus on caring for people living with dementia and older people who are considered to be vulnerable for a number of reasons (physical, social, mental) and the people who care for them. Working in Indonesia since 2018, she has ongoing collaborations around the world. She founded Soulful Brain, where she continues her work as an independent researcher as well as a consultant and mentor working for NGOs, universities & individual clients. Although coming from an academic background, in more recent years she has combined this with working in practice. She has a strong interest in translating research into real-life settings. She highly values communicating results to the general public by means of talks, but also for example via IG.
