I am a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Public Health (ESP) of the Free University of Brussels (ULB). I am a sociologist and demographer interested in social inequalities in health over the life course. In my research, I examine how work, family, and welfare institutions jointly shape unequal health and well-being outcomes.
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).
I specialise in analysing large panel survey datasets (such as SHARE) and full-population register data, particularly for epidemiological and demographic research. My analytical approach is theory-driven, quantitative empirical research. My main interests include social and gender inequalities in health, social determinants of health, intergenerational relationships, welfare systems, and quantitative methods for social research.
