I am an economist in the monetary policy department at De Nederlandsche Bank (the Dutch central bank). In my research I study central bank digital currency, banks, and the European Monetary Union.

Prior to that, I worked as an analyst at the European Central Bank on the financial stability implications of a digital euro. I hold a PhD and an MPhil in Economics from the University of Amsterdam and the Tinbergen Institute.
