Short biography

I am PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam. My project ‘Colonial Carbon: How Empire Shaped the Dutch Fossil-Fuel Sector’ focuses on the colonial and postcolonial history of oil in the Netherlands and its empire. Specifically, I am interested in how the colonial oil industry in the Dutch East Indies laid the foundations for oil and natural gas extraction in the Netherlands after decolonization.
