Lieke finished her Master of Science in Politics, Economics and Philosophy at the University of Hamburg in June 2022. Her thesis bridged between political economy, political theory, and philosophy to answer how trust and trustworthiness should be understood in data governance. In 2019, she was selected for the Netherlands Asia Honours Summer School which enabled her to study and do a consultancy project in Chengdu (China).
After joining THE NEW INSTITUTE as a working student, she is now part of the media team and focuses on the synarchy between research and journalism.
