I am Associate Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Executive Director of ODISSEI, the Dutch National Infrastructure for Social Science, where I am responsible for the strategic development of the infrastructure and international collaborations. I am the Social Science Lead for the Pandemic and Disaster Preparedeness Center and, for 2025-26, I am co-Director of the IPDLN. I’m deeply passionate about improving social science data and the infrastructure that is needed for its collection, processing and dissemination. I believe that the social sciences can help us understand and improve society, but to do so we must improve and diversify the data we use in social research. Because of this, I am a strong advocate of open science and the FAIR principles.
I’m always keen to discuss my work and engage in new collaborations.
