My research focuses on corporate criminal liability and related sanctions. I am also interested in general criminal liability theory and especially, the concept of causation in criminal law.  

My current work concentrates on corporate criminal negligence and its relation to a weak corporate culture as well as low corporate sustainability performance.  

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