Hi!

I am a scientist specialist at TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), where my work focuses on the governance of digital technologies and their broader impact on organisations, the economy, and society. My current research centres on cryptographic and privacy-enhancing technologies, exploring how these tools are means to foster or obsfucate trust.

In addition, I am a research fellow at the Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam. There, I contribute to academic teaching — primarily in the areas of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and decentralised systems — from an interdiciplinary perspective.
