Projects

Economics of Scientific Research: Funding, Structure, and Outcomes
How do biomedical researchers, such as PhD students, postdoctoral scholars, and staff scientists, produce knowledge and innovation
Optimising Dutch trains
The Econometric Institute has a long standing collaboration with Netherlands Railways (NS) with research projects on various topics.
From Micro to Macro
Estimating the Economic Effects of Rare Events
Bringing Hidden Patterns to Light
Uncovering hidden network connections in complex data
New Directions for Vehicle Routing
The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is an optimization problem in which it has to be decided in what order locations are visited by vehicles.
Prompting for Personality: Can we and should we use large language models to simulate human transport decisions?
The "Prompting for Personality" NWO-XS project explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be integrated into computational models.

Scenario generation for optimisation under uncertainty
Many situations can arise in which a decision needs to be taken under uncertainty.
New compact formulations for routing problems
Designing routes for vehicles is an important task in many logistical processes, such as parcel delivery, store resupply, public transport and waste collection.
Models and Algorithms for Railway Rolling Stock (Re)Scheduling
With millions of passenger train trips each day, railway networks play a big role in the mobility systems of many countries.
Tracking time-varying parameters using gradient-based filters
Many quantities we care about in economics and finance change continuously and cannot be observed directly.
Test
My research lies at the intersection of empirical asset pricing, econometrics, and machine learning.
Adjusting Train Timetables in the Presence of Maintenance Activities
Serving as the backbone of every railway system, train timetables influence not only passenger and freight travelling plan and time management
Optimising kidney paired donation in the presence of uncertainty
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease
Mapping Hidden Networks of Economic Risk
A financial shock in one country can spread to others through channels that researchers cannot directly observe
Heterogeneity in Panel Data Econometrics
Modern datasets often contain data about many individuals over time.
Extremes with Random Covariates
Extreme values are ubiqutous in the world. Classical inference procedures assume independent and identically distributed data.
