Personal profile

Career

I am assistant professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy at Tilburg University. 

I completed my PhD in Philosophy at Tilburg University. Before that, I did an MA at Erasmus University, an MSc at the Stockholm School of Economics, and a BA at University College Utrecht.

I have held positions at Utrecht University and Erasmus University Rotterdam. I have been on research visits to Gothenburg University, Oxford University, Pompeu Fabra University, and Yale. 

Please email me on [email protected]. Tilburg University regularly quaranteens harmless incoming messages and it is a hassle to get them released. 

Research interests

My research is in moral and political philosophy. I mainly work on topics in distributive justice, particularly on desert, egalitarianism, and property. I also have a research interest in the ethics of markets, the meaning and future of work, moral status, personal identity, the value of life and death, and wellbeing.
