I am an assistant professor at the Environmental Economics department of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). My research interests include assessing the broad implications of climate change adaptation, including financial, social, and biodiversity impacts. With my research, I aim to improve adaptation design by transparently evaluating these implications. Expertise in research methods includes partial equilibrium modeling, (social) cost-benefit analysis, and qualitative methods.
For my PhD-research I developed a partial equilibrium model of the flood insurance sector to quantify societal implications of strategies to future-proof flood insurance in Europe. This research particularly focuses on tradeoffs between insurance strategies that stimulate economic efficiency and those that aim to preserve solidarity in the face of climate change.
Previous and ongoing collaborative research projects have focused on assessing macroeconomic impacts of flood insurance strategies under climate change (COACCH, ACCREU); assessing the distributional implications of flood insurance and flood risk management more broadly (DISCC-AT); developing business models to upscale the implementation of nature-based solutions for climate risks (NATURANCE); and assessing economic impacts for the EU of climate change that occurs remotely (RECEIPT).
Aside from research, I teach university courses in environmental economics, statistics, and academic writing.
