About

I am a PhD candidate at the Interdisciplinary Hub for Security, Privacy and Data Governance (iHub) at Radboud University Nijmegen under supervision of professor Bart Jacobs.

My main interests lie in the intersection of category theory and probability theory. This involves working with, for example, the theory of Markov categories and effectuses.
