About Me 

I am an Assistant Professor in Infrastructure Planning, Governance & Methodology at the University of Groningen (2019current). I am affiliated with the Department of Spatial Planning and Environment of the Faculty of Spatial Sciences. I am program coordinator of the Bachelor Spatial Planning and Design of the Faculty of Spatial Sciences and of the research program Sustainable Road Infrastructure between Rijkswaterstaat and the University of Groningen. I am also supervisor and co-promotor on multiple PhD research projects. Since 2018, I am editorial board member of Public Works Management & Policy.

I have a PhD in Public Administration from Erasmus University Rotterdam (2015). Previously, I worked at the University of Groningen as a Postdoctoral Researcher (20162019), the University of Bamberg (20152016), and at Erasmus University Rotterdam (20092015). I also held visiting research positions at Rijkswaterstaat and the Bertelsmann Foundation.

My research focuses on the design, implementation, and outcomes of collaboration in cross-sector governance networks, with a specific focus on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in transport infrastructure planning. I am also specialized in comparative methods, in particular Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). My current research activities focus on three areas.
