I am an Associate Professor of Finance at Maastricht University and also hold a position Utrecht University in The Netherlands.
My research and education has primarily focused on sustainable finance and investments. I study how sustainability (ESG) issues affect the financial market, investment portfolio management, active ownership, corporate behavior, and firm valuation.
