Current Research

In 2022, I was awarded two prestigious grants from the Dutch Research Council (NWO- VIDI) and the Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program - Visiting Professorship at Lund University, Sweden) to research how the automation of digital government impedes vulnerable citizens from exercising their rights before government and how to reshape administrative law to address this problem. These grants fund my project Administrative Vulnerability which will last from 2023-2028 and funds two research teams at Tilburg Law School and Lund University.
