I am a PhD candidate at Ghent University, with research interests in medieval history and network science. I first obtained a bachelor's degree in history from Utrecht University in 2022, with a dissertation on the Black Death in the Low Countries. During this study, I completed a research internship at Erfgoed Brabant on the Viabundus project. I then obtained a master's degree in Ancient, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies from Utrecht University in 2024. My dissertation centred around an early twelfth-century conflict between secular canons within the Utrecht Cathedral Chapter. I was awarded the PhD Fellowship Fundamental Research by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) for a research project on the regulation and identity-building of regular canons in the long twelfth century, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Steven Vanderputten. This project systematically compares the normative accounts produced by regular canons - including customaries and statutes - using a network analysis methodology that is adapted to study the conceptual connections between texts.
