I am a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Public Health (ESP) of the Free University of Brussels (ULB) and affiliated with the Center for Demographic Research (DEMO) of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain). My research examines how work, family, and welfare institutions jointly produce unequal health and well‑being outcomes across the life course. I am particularly interested in the intergenerational transmission of (dis)advantages between parents and children, and in the upstream influence of adult children’s resources on their ageing parents’ health. To address these questions, I specialise in analysing large longitudinal survey datasets (such as SHARE) and full-population register data, particularly for epidemiological and demographic research.
I hold a PhD from the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW) and the University of Groningen (RUG, Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences), and a Master’s Degree in Sociology and Social Research from the University of Trento (Italy).
