I am a chemical engineer by training and was an academic researcher for a (long) while. I am currently Partner at Technopolis Group, responsible for the Health & Life Sciences thematic unit there. I have a broad interest in exploring better ways to enhance the value of science programmes through policy, and very much enjoy working across different fields. Most of my projects involve evaluations of public research programmes and legislations, but I have also conducted strategic and foresight studies. Some of the recent topics include biomedical research & innovation, global health security, pharmaceutical innovation & access to medicine, healthy ageing, and mental health.
