Research interests
As an Assyriologist, I am mainly interested in the Old Babylonian period (ca. 2000-1600 BCE), both its texts and its Archaeology.
Education
After a degree in Controlling from Groningen University, I studied Akkadian and Arabic, first in Groningen, then in Leiden. I did my MA in Paris at the École Pratique des Hautes Études and wrote my thesis on the Amorites, again in Leiden (graduation 2014). After this, I worked for five years at the Free University Amsterdam before returning to Leiden.
I regularly teach classes in Assyriology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the School of Middle Eastern Studies (LIAS).
