I obtained my PhD degree from VU University Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Dutch Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI). The topics covered Markov Decision Processes, Evolutionary Algorithms (a subfield of Artificial Intelligence), and sensor networks. Additionally, I followed the MSc program ‘Business Analytics‘ at VU University, and both the BSC and MSc program for ‘Mathematics‘ at the University of Leiden. The list below contains all my scientific output to date.
