“Hallo allemaal, Ik ben Kratika!”
Hello Everyone,
I am Kratika. Coming to The Netherlands has definitely been a challenge as I did not speak Dutch. But, gradually, I learnt the language and am a bit confident enough to speak. I love learning new languages and exploring cultures, by now, I have a good command over 6 languages! This country, and my university have been very supportive and accepting towards me as a foreigner.

Hej hej! I’m Sabrina Doering and I’m an early stage researcher (ESR) in the CAPICE project at the University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs Universitet). Together with Ashley Thompson and Marica Leone, I’m one of the CAPICE ESRs based in Sweden.
Living in Germany far too long, I decided to go abroad after high school and started my academic journey by studying psychology in the Netherlands. After three years of riding a bike, come rain or shine, I received my bachelor of science from Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen. To specialize in clinical psychology and neuroscience as well as to gain clinical experience, I moved to Switzerland to do a two years master of science at the University of Basel. Within CAPICE, I am lucky enough to combine my research interests along with the opportunity to be educated in the field of psychiatric genetics.

Hi!! My name is Marica Leone. I am originally from Italy and I am one of the 3 ESR based in Sweden. My ‘university journey’ started back in Italy, when I was enrolled in a bachelor degree programme in human biology. Although I really enjoyed most of the classes, I had always dreamt of studying abroad and experiencing a new environment. Therefore, I decided to move to Scotland where I finally got my bachelor degree in forensic and analytical science.

Hi, I’m Eshim Shahid. I’m one of the two Capice PhD students at VU Amsterdam and started in August, 2017. I was born in Pakistan and moved to the UK as an adolescent so I’ve experienced education in both Eastern and Western settings. I studied psychology at Royal Holloway and did my Master’s in psychiatric research at King’s College London. I consistently juggled with the idea of clinical work versus research throughout my education but ultimately decided that I was most interested in understanding how and why psychiatric problems develop.

I am Laura Schellhas and, together with Elis Haan, I’m working as an early stage researcher (ESR) on the CAPICE project at the University of Bristol (UoB). Before moving to Bristol, I completed a Bachelor’s of Psychology and a Research Master’s in Behavioural and Social Sciences with specialization in clinical psychology at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Deciding to move to the UK brought some uncertainty with it, due to the forthcoming Brexit. However, when I first arrived in Bristol all these doubts were swept away. I had a very warm welcome from my supervisors, as well as from the other PhD students.
