About

I am a second-year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Groningen supervised by dr. Pim Heijnen, prof. dr. Marco Haan, and dr. Florian Wagener. 

I obtained a MRes (equiv. MPhil) in Economics and a BSc in Econometrics from the University of Groningen.  My cv can be found here. 

I am interested in Environmental and Resource Economics and (Dynamic) Game Theory/Industrial Organization. I study strategic interactions between agents (countries, firms) related to climate policy and non-renewable resources. I also like to think about Numerical Methods to answer questions in these fields.

In my spare time, I like to play chess, do endurance sports and read. 

Feel free to reach out to me!
