I am a MPhil student in European Politics and Society. My primary academic interests are in the field of Political Economy, Quantitative Research Methods, and Game Theory.
Before coming to the DPIR, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Leiden University with a major in Governance, Economics and Development with Cum Laude distinction. Afterwards, I completed my MSc in Economics (Behavioral Economics and Game Theory) at the University of Amsterdam. My master thesis analysed strategic parliamentary voting games of “king-maker parties”.
I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for the Leiden Math Institute. In that role I headed the Leiden University College Statistics Center to help students with questions about statistics and quantitative research. I further taught an Experimental Economics Honors Bachelor course at the Amsterdam School of Economics.
Aside from academia, I spent a year as a member of the UvA student interview platform called Room for Discussion. There I had the opportunity to conduct interviews with politicians, academics and journalists.
