About
I am a senior economist in the monetary policy division at De Nederlandsche Bank. From 2024 to 2026 I was seconded to the European Central Bank, where I worked on the digital euro project.
My research covers central bank digital currency, financial intermediation, and fiscal and monetary policy in the euro area.
I hold a PhD and MPhil in Economics from the University of Amsterdam and the Tinbergen Institute.
