My research focuses on corporate criminal liability and related sanctions. I'm also interested in the modernization process of general criminal liability theory. Currently, my work concentrates on corporate criminal negligence and its relation to weak corporate culture as well as low corporate sustainability performance.  

I'm a member of the Ethical Review Board in the Humanities and Social and Behavioural Sciences.

Before academia, I have worked for corporate law firms over 10 years focusing on corporate offences, corporate compliance, anti-bribery and anti-money laundering.
