I am also the contact person at Maastricht for, and a board member of, the Dutch discrete mathematics cluster DIAMANT (a current list of DIAMANT members at Maastricht can be found at the start of this presentation). I was vice-chair of the Maastricht Young Academy (MYA) from 2017-2019.

My main research interests are graph theory, phylogenetics, fixed parameter tractability, combinatorics, algorithm engineering and computational biology.

Outside university I am active on issues relating to public services and social justice, particularly housing and education, and I am a board member of Housing Association Soweto. I fully support the occupation of the A12 in Den Haag by Extinction Rebellion on 28th January 2023.
