About
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Econometrics and Data Science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My research focusses on the application of statistical methods, machine-learning techniques, matrix algebra, and numerical methods to estimation problems that arise when working with Big Data. My work has been published in journals such as Communications Biology, Molecular Psychiatry, PLOS Genetics, Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, Nature Human Behaviour, and Nature.
In the Bachelor Econometrics and Data Science, I teach Data Structures and Algorithms, Database Fundamentals and Applications, and Differential Privacy and Statistical Inference under Differential Privacy. In the Bachelor Economics and Business Economics, I teach Quantitative Research Methods 1. In addition, I teach a summer school on Foundations of Machine Learning with Applications in Python in the Business Data Science program at the Tinbergen Institute.
