Hi there, I am a postdoctoral researcher at SEVEN, the new climate institute of the University of Amsterdam. My research lies at the intersection of behavioural science, sustainability, and statistics. I aim to bridge methodological rigor with applied societal impact, focusing on identifying behavioural and policy-level interventions that can help societies stay within planetary boundaries.

Previously, I was based at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics and the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my PhD in the Department of Psychological Methods, where I worked on Bayesian hypothesis testing, causal inference from observational data, and early warning signals of tipping points

Alongside my academic work, I am involved with Polder, an initiative that brings complex systems thinking to the policymaking process. I am deeply concerned about the climate emergency and used to be very active with Scientist Rebellion. I co-organize the annual Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change and have contributed to various initiatives using data science for social good, including co-founding CorrelAid Nederland and Science versus Corona, and joining the Data Science for Social Good Fellowship at Carnegie Mellon University in 2022.

I greatly enjoy teaching and have given workshops on a variety of topics, including Bayesian statistics, causal inference, and climate action. I always strive to make the learning experience fun and engaging. If you want me to give a workshop on any of these topics, please get in touch.
