I received my PhD from the University of Amsterdam in 2023. In my research, I investigate the origins of human sociality. More specifically, I study why people deviate from rational decision-making in their social behaviors and why cultural norms exist. Currently, I work as a model validator at de Volksbank, where I review quantitative (behavioral) models.
