Thomas BALBACH

PhD Candidate, KU Leuven

PhD candidate, KU Leuven. Expertise on government contracting, public procurement, institutional design and information system design in the public sector.

Need an independent viewpoint on public procurement and government contracting to facilitate your policymaking process?

 

In my research at KU Leuven, I study how public administration works together with contractors to achieve public policy. To that end, I apply machine learning on big procurement data. I also conduct experiments to understand individual decisions to procure for broader outcomes. 

 

In my advisory role, I benefit from several years of professional and academic experience. Over several years I worked on large-scale governmental IT projects (eID, AEOI, sBMS). I have a Master of Science in Public Sector Innovation and eGovernance (summa cum laude with the congratulations of the examination committee) and have published research on digital public service delivery.
