I am a PhD Candidate at the Management Department at Tilburg University and currently doing a research visit at Rotman School of Management, Toronto. 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 supervisor are Prof. Dr. Tal Simons and Prof. Dr. Zilin He.
Update (29.3.2021): I will be on the academic job market as of this summer. If you like to know more about my work, please contact me via email.
