I am a medical statistician and methodologist at the University Medical Center Groningen, working across the Clinical Trial Hub, the Clinical Research Office, and the Department of Epidemiology.

My work focuses on supporting clinical, epidemiological, and observational research throughout the research lifecycle: from study design and protocol development to analysis planning, interpretation, reporting, and publication. I advise researchers on topics such as randomisation, sample-size estimation, endpoints, missing data, non-inferiority, and the practical implications of design and analysis choices.

A large part of my work concerns investigator-initiated clinical research, including multicentre trials. I also develop training materials, tutorials, and practical tools to make clinical trial methodology and medical statistics more accessible to researchers, students, and research support staff.

My academic background is interdisciplinary, with earlier training in psychology, linguistics, and cognitive neuroscience, followed by specialisation in medical statistics. This has shaped how I work: I enjoy statistical detail, but I am especially interested in making methodology transparent, useful, and actionable for clinical researchers.

Across my roles, I aim to bridge statistical methodology and clinical research practice, helping researchers formulate answerable questions, choose suitable designs and analyses, and communicate findings clearly and responsibly.
