WELCOME

I’m an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My main research area is causal inference (more about my research here).

I'm the Program Director of the Master Mathematics at VU, I co-organize the Amsterdam Causality Meeting, I chair the ERC Working Group of the Dutch Platform for Mathematics and I serve on the Board of Directors of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. See my cv for more activities.

My research is supported by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) and by ENW-M and ENW-XL grants from the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
