Welcome!

I am also part-time at the Institute of Social Studies and on the management team of the Rotterdam Global Health Initiative. From 2013-2014 I was post-doc in the Max Weber Program at the European University Institute (EUI), Florence. In 2013 I did my PhD in International Economics at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva. I have advised and consulted for the World Bank, the Gates Foundation, WHO and others.
