Background and interests

I am a PhD Candidate at CREED under the supervision of Frans van Winden and Nadège Bault since October 2012. I am affiliated with the Tinbergen Institute and the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Amsterdam. Next to my Master degree from the Tinbergen Institute, I hold a master degree in Economics from the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) and a Bachelor Degree in History also from the UvA.
Besides my interests in behavioral economics in general, I developed a special interest in the neuroeconomic field, with a focus on the role of emotions. Outside of academia I very much like sports. With special interest in cycling, football and basketball.
