I work at bol.com on causal inference, statistics, measurement, recommendations, and machine learning in the online advertising domain.

Previously, I was assistant professor at Utrecht University, where I founded the ODISSEI Social Data Science team and worked on a broad range of topics in social science, statistics, and computation, such as Bayesian statistics, multilevel generalized linear models, simulation, causal inference, measurement, uncertainty propagation, privacy, synthetic data, and more.
