Short CV
Embedded Files
Since June 2024, I work as Assistant Professor in Medical Statistics at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University (Leiden, the Netherlands).
My research interests include biostatistics, survival analysis, causal inference, longitudinal data analysis, with applications to (paediatric) oncology and cancer trial data.
Statistics Group @MI | Data Analysis and Survival for Personalised Oncology | SIG Health Data Science
Since January 2024, I am also affiliated as a guest researcher at the Department of Biomedical Data Sciences (Section of Medical Statistics) at Leiden University Medical Center.
Since 2019, I have been involved in teaching activities at BSc/MSc/PhD level.
