I am an assistant professor at the Sociology Department and a member of the ICS research school. I am furthermore affiliated with the Sectorplan Social and Behavioural Sciences and specifically the theme Social Inequality and Diversity.
My research interests include mechanisms of educational inequality, returns to education, the transition from school-to-work, vocational education, labor market inequalities over the life-course, as well as social stratification in general. I use predominately quantitative research methods and work with longitudinal survey data, (Dutch) population register data as well as field and factorial survey experiments.
I teach social inequality, sociology of education and applied regression analysis. Furthermore, I supervise student research projects, as well as bachelor and master thesis projects.
I received my PhD from the 木瓜福利影视 of Amsterdam in 2021 with a thesis on the family-level mechanisms of educational inequality in different educational systems. Subsequently, I was a postdoc at Free 木瓜福利影视 Berlin where I worked on questions related to the transition of young adults from higher education to the labor market.
