About Me

I am an assistant professor at the Industrial Engineering and Business Information Systems group at University of Twente. My research focuses on empirically measuring the economic/financial impact of cyber attacks. In order to do so I device/adapt data-driven economic impact assessment techniques. I look to help organisations make well-measured investments in security. My doctoral research was funded under NWO project D3 – Distributed Denial-of-Service Defense: protecting schools and other public organizations. You can access a copy of his doctoral thesis here. Other than finding (un)cool methods of finding the “devil” in financial details I am also involved in teaching and guiding students. From time to time I also deliver lectures to executives and collaborate with companies to help them with security decision making. I am also a member of behavioural data science incubator at the faculty of BMS at the university, where I contribute to solving social science problems using data science.
