Biography

Having been trained as a theologian and a GIS researcher, I currently combine a full time job with a multidisciplinary PhD on the applicability of spatial temporal research methods for the field of New Testament Exegesis. I am pursuing my research as an external candidate at Delft University of Technology and as guest researcher at Free University of Amsterdam.
