Profile
I joined the Law School in January 2016. Before I came to Leeds I was professor of Criminal Law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Dean of the Faculty from 2011-2015. Previously I taught at Leiden University and Utrecht University.
I have held visiting fellowships in Cambridge, Oxford, Bologna, and at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. In 2015, I was Holding Redlich fellow at the Castan Center for Human Rights at Monash University Melbourne.
I am a member of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities. I am an alumn of the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) (2008-2013).
I am senior editor of the Leiden Journal of International Law and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Conflict and Security Law.
