My research is in the areas of probability theory and stochastic networks, with an emphasis on asymptotic analysis, stochastic process limits, and randomized algorithms. Problems I investigate are inspired by applications in network science, physics and computer science.

Beside my research, I like to communicate my research field to a wider audience. As one of the Dutch 'Faces of Science', I write a  blog about my research (in Dutch), and I often give public lectures, for example at high schools or theaters.
