About

I am an economist at De Nederlandsche Bank and a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, supervised by Massimo Giuliodori and Maurice Bun. My research examines how regulatory frameworks shape bank behaviour and the transmission of sovereign risk—work that draws on both econometric methods and a close reading of how European bank regulation actually operates. Before DNB, I worked at PwC on quantitative and regulatory projects for large financial institutions, and at the Dutch Ministry of Finance on banking supervision and regulation.

My background combines political science and financial economics. I studied political science at VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam before moving to Warwick for a master’s in international financial economics. That combination still shapes how I think: I am interested not just in identifying causal effects in banking data, but in the political and institutional context in which regulation is designed, contested, and enforced.
