Welcome

I am a Senior Researcher at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, where I work in the Migration & Migrants and Data Infrastructure & Open Science Departments. I am affiliated with the University of Groningen.

My research focuses on migration and integration, conflict, and political communication, employing quantitative and computational methods. My work has been published in esteemed general social science journals like Social Forces, European Sociological Review, and European Journal of Political Research, as well as top-tier specialty outlets such as Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Journal of Computational Social Science, and Mass Communication and Society.

Before joining NIDI, I worked at the Department of Methods of Empirical Social Research at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main (DE), the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University (IL), and the Chair of Empirical Social and Economic Research at the University of Cologne (DE). I was also a visiting researcher at Radboud University Nijmegen (NL) and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (DE).

I hold a doctoral degree in Social Sciences from the University of Cologne, and studied Sociology at the Universities of Mannheim and Cologne.

I have extensive experience teaching quantitative methods and research design at the Universities of Frankfurt and Cologne and at various summer schools, as well as supervising Bachelor’s and Master’s theses.
