Short biography
I am a sustainability researcher and activist. I hold a PhD on governance of the energy transition from DRIFT at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I have published in high-ranking peer-reviewed journals on the energy transition, biobased economy, transition governance and geopolitics of renewable energy. I have been one of the founders of the succesful ABP-fossilfree campaign and am currently working on the climate court cases that Milieudefensie started against Shell and ING-bank.
