PhD Students

I currently serve on doctoral committees of 3 Ph.D. students — Ms. Ilaha Abasli with Professor Peter Knorringa, Ms. Beatriz Campillo with Professor Des Gasper and Ms. Run Zhao with Prof. Jurian Edelenbos and Prof. Martin de Jong. I worked with Professor Martin de Jong and Professor Michael Faure in supervision of Jiejing Shi. 

I have examined Ph.D. dissertations of Ms. Salomey Afrifa and Ms. Renata Cavalcanti Muniz (internally) at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Ms. Irna Hofman (externally) at Leiden University and Ms. Ellen Minkman (externally) at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I enjoy working with research students since this offers an opportunity for mutual learning and exchange.

Nota Bene: I am interested in supervising new Ph.D. students. Please, check Research to see my currently on-going projects/interests if you have funding for your research and look for a suitable supervisor or would like to visit as a visiting Ph.D. researcher.
