Stefanie De Smet (she/her/hers)

PhD researcher
Ghent University
Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium

Stefanie De Smet (0000-0002-3764-3734) is an experimental psychologist and PhD candidate at Ghent University’s Department of Head and Skin. As a member of the Ghent Experimental Psychiatry (GHEP) lab, she is dedicated to exploring the underlying mechanisms of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Her primary research objective is to deepen our understanding of how these techniques modulate the excitability of the (prefrontal) cortex and their impact on cognitive and affective processes related to prefrontal functioning, such as working memory and emotion regulation. In 2020, Stefanie was awarded a prestigious PhD Fellowship in fundamental research by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). Her fellowship focuses on investigating the combined effects of brain stimulation techniques using a multimodal approach that integrates neuroimaging, psychophysiological assessments, and behavioral measurements. Through her comprehensive research endeavors, Stefanie aims to advance our knowledge of these stimulation techniques and their potential applications in the field of psychiatry.
