I am a postdoctoral researcher at Athena Institute, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My research focuses on how scientific collaboration is organised in complex societal domains, with particular interest in inclusion, inter- and transdisciplinarity, and the governance of knowledge production.

​

My current work contributes to FoSSNet, a European project aimed at advancing open and inclusive science and education for food systems transformation. Within this context, I study how scientific networks are formed and maintained, how different actors and disciplines are included, and how collaborative structures influence whose knowledge becomes visible and actionable.

​

My academic background combines industrial design, science and technology studies, and policy. This combination shapes my interest in how knowledge is produced in practice – through interactions, infrastructures, and the tools people use to collaborate.

​

I previously completed doctoral research at Wageningen University, where I examined the role of visualisations in controversies around food and energy technologies. This work investigated how visuals participate in public debates, shape interpretation, and influence collective understandings of emerging technologies.

​

Across my work, I am interested in questions of collaboration: how people navigate difference, how shared understanding is built, and how research practices can become more inclusive across disciplinary and societal boundaries.
