Biography

I am a PhD Candidate at the Management Department at Tilburg University. In my research I try to uncover how top managers behave when being faced with financial distress. The first major theme is trying to understand their decision-making through how reference points affect their risk-taking. A second theme focuses on their communication, examining how they verbally describe to external analysts how well their organization is doing. In my research I use a large variety of methods, ranging from advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for analyzing textual and audio data, to using survival models. Furthermore, I am a strong believer in the Open Science movement and try to apply these principles in my own research.

My supervisors are Prof. Dr. Tal Simons and Prof. Dr. Zilin He.

I am on the academic job market as of summer 2021. If you like to know more about my work, please contact me via email.
