I do research on open government and open data in the Netherlands. My research is part of a project titled 'Designing a regulatory framework for citizen-friendly data communication by public actors', and my direct colleagues are prof. dr. Anne Meuwese, dr. Johan Wolswinkel, and Annemarie Balvert LLM.

A short introductory video on my research on open ground water data can be found here (in Dutch): https://www.kenniscloud.nl/page/9417/open-grondwaterdata-in-brabant

For about 1.5 months in 2020-2021 I do research for a De Jonge Akademie funded and organized research project on the effects of private funding on academic research. The project is chaired by dr. Linnet Taylor.

In the beginning of 2021 I was a visiting student/scholar at the Centre of Interdisciplinary Methodologies of the University of Warwick (UK), and work together with prof. dr. Noortje Marres on, among other things, the relationship between philosophy and empirical research.

Works in progress:
-AI ethics washing paper: to be presented in Hamburg in the summer
-a paper on algorithmic representation together with Daan Kolkman (TU/Eindhoven).
-in a very preliminary state: work on the Dutch tradition of 'empirische filosofie'.

I have a background in history and philosophy of political science (both at Leiden University, cum laude). My history thesis was titled 'Deliberative democracy in the Netherlands' and focused on one specific deliberative 'mini public' which took place in the city of Groningen ('The G1000 Groningen'). In my philosophy thesis, I evaluated the social-political relevance of a new movement in feminist political theory called 'new materialism'.
