Linde is a PhD candidate at the Finance department of Maastricht University’s School of Business and Economics. The department publishes in top academic journals, but their definition of successful research goes beyond that: they continuously strive to create practical applications, and some of their key faculty members have turned their academic ideas into prospering businesses. A lot of their research is disseminated through their research institute, the European Center for Sustainable Finance, GRESB and the Maastricht Center for Real Estate (MCRE). They also carry out behavioural finance research as part of the BEE lab, engage in cutting edge real estate research and contribute to the Business Intelligence and Smart Services institute with their research on pension communication and big data asset pricing.
