Home Publications Software

Welcome

Here you can find my publications and software.

Affiliations

I work as a statistical officer at Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union and I am a research fellow at LIACS (University of Leiden). Previously, from 2007 to 2025 I worked as a (senior) methodologist at Statistics Netherlands. I have developed and taught courses in the area of data science and statistics with R or Python between 2012 and 2025 with Tridata BV.

I also volunteered as an (associate) editor at the R Journal from 2021-2025, functioning as editor in chief in 2024. I also co-maintain the Awesomelist of official statistics software. I'm in the organizing committee of the uRos conference (2018-now), in the scientific committee of the NTTS conference (2024-now) and I've joined the scientific committee of the useR!2021 conference. I am an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.

Research

At LIACS I work on the ANO-NET project where we develop methods to ensure anonymity in complex network data.

Most of my research is broadly in the area of statistical computing. This resulted in (co)-authoring a number of R packages in the areas of data cleaning, fuzzy string matching and text search, unit testing, and others.
