I am a legal researcher interested in questions related to mediated communication. During my research master’s in Information Law (University of Amsterdam, 2016), I studied the rules around communication surveillance by intelligence services. My dissertation assessed the fundamental rights implications of personalised communication by news media (University of Amsterdam, 2021). Since 2021, I am an Assistant Professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Here, I work on new topics related to communication. One of my current research interests is the developing EU legal framework on disinformation.

Through my work on the legal dimensions of mediated communication, I have gained thorough knowledge of several important EU legal instruments in the field of law and technology. I work on a daily basis with the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), Digital Services Act (‘DSA’), Political Advertising Regulation, and European Media Freedom Act (‘EMFA’).

Next to my research, I am involved in teaching at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I coordinate the master’s specialisation International Technology Law. I also coordinate and teach a master’s course on European data protection law, and I teach platform regulation and media law in another master’s course. Finally, I coordinate the internships and master’s theses for students in the International Technology Law specialisation.
