  • Me

    I am mathematician and computer scientist working as an assistant professor at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics of the University of Amsterdam.

    From 2020 to 2021 I was a Simons Junior Fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University, hosted by Oded Regev. From 2018 to 2020 I was a member in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, hosted by Avi Wigderson. Until 2018 I worked at CWI, the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands. I received my PhD cum laude from the University of Amsterdam in October 2018.
