After 4 years in activism around the climate and biodiversity crises and migration issues, I decided to make research into these topics my full-time job. Linda Knoester and I started Solid Sustainability Research, a bureau where we could conduct research into things we found important to today’s challenges. Last year we looked into public communications of oil and gas majors (greenwashing); we are currently coordinating a research effort into the involvement of Dutch academia with the fossil fuel industry.
Before starting work in research for the climate crisis I did my PhD in human-robot interaction at TU München and worked in space robotics research at the German Aerospace Centre and European Space Agency.
