I am interested in employment and social policies, within a European context. In particular, my reseach focuses on the labour market position of 'atypical' groups such as people with fixed-term or part-time jobs, young workers and people experiencing in-work-poverty. The European dimension of my research includes EU governance of social policies, for instance within the framework of the European Semester. I am part of he Dutch Triple A for employment relations group.

I lead the interdisciplinary Sectorplan ‘Welfare, participation and citizenship in a digital world’, which unites researcher from four faculties in Utrecht. Moreover, I am board member of the Netherlands  . Additionally, I am a member of the steering committee of the International Working Party on Labour Market Segmentation (IWPLM), for which I organised the 2025 annual conference in Utrecht.

I am also a member of the editorial board of the Dutch Journal for Law and Employment (Tijdschrift voor Recht en Arbeid), and member of the editorial board of the European Journal of Social Security.

I was partner in the Horizon 2020 project on in-work-poverty (WorkYP - ). Between 2017 and 2021 I held the Jean Monnet chair on European Social Policy and Employment Relations.
