About Me

I’m a public administration scholar interested in regulatory governance and decision-making.

Currently, I’m an associate professor at the institute of public administration, Leiden University. You can find more information on my ongoing research and teaching on this website. You can find a full CV here. Occasionally I blog, mostly in Dutch and sometimes in English, about matters of lobbying, regulation and other societal issues I care about. And every now and then I (re)tweet about my latest research findings or other issues I find interesting.
