PhD candidate at Erasmus University of Rotterdam (2023-27) and LIVES (2023-26), the Swiss Centre of Expertise in Life Course Research. I am interested in looking at the interactions of social policy and the life course in a comparative perspective using individual level data.

I am being supervised by Tom Emery and Alzbeta Bartova, and part of the team working on the ERC Childcare Strategies.

I completed the MPPSC at the University of Tübingen in 2023 and have yet to write my thesis for the MA Philosophy & Economics at the University of Vienna.

Current projects

  1. In the first half of my PhD, I have been looking to describe the early childcare gap (period between end of leave and childcare usage) from an individual level perspective, and how access to policy resources during these periods is stratified.
  2. In the second half of my PhD, I am working on compressing longitudinal life course data into embeddings, and using those to describe specific life course dynamics.
  3. With Lili Vargha and Flora Zhou, I am working on describing within country heterogeneities in absolute and relative maternal incomes after first birth in the Netherlands using Group Based Multi Trajectory Modelling
