Hi!
I am a scientist specialist at TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) and research fellow at the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam.
My work:
- Governance of digital technologies and their impact on organisations, economy, and society
- Cryptographic and privacy-enhancing technologies, and how they foster or obfuscate trust
- Teaching and research in blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and decentralised systems
- Critical analysis of how power and politics shape technological systems
I ask uncomfortable questions about who benefits from technology and why.
