I am the coordinator of both the SEISMEC and COALESCE projects and an Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communication at Erasmus University Rotterdam,. Formerly I was the Vice Dean Education at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication. My research interests are focused primarily on practices of digitalisation, specifically in relation to identification, privacy, the use of new/social media and consumer data as surveillance practices, marketing practices, and (cyber) security issues.
