Welcome

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

My research focuses on social cohesion and migration, employing quantitative and computational methods. My work has been published in journals like Social Forces, European Sociological Review, European Journal of Political Research, and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, among others. The findings are featured in national and international media and influenced global and EU-level policy institutions. I am an Associate Editor of the interdisciplinary Journal of Computational Social Science.

I am PI of the project Crossing Boundaries: Migrants’ Attitudes Toward Immigration and Their Political Consequences funded by the Dutch Research Council. I am also a member of SOCION, where I serve as a daily supervisor for PhD project on social cohesion in ethnically diverse schools.

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

Before joining NIDI, I worked at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Cologne, where I have gained extensive experience teaching quantitative methods and research design and supervising students. I was also a visiting researcher at Radboud University Nijmegen and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies.
