About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, working on the ERC Advanced Grant project "Breaking the Inequality-Crime Cycle", led by Randi Hjalmarsson.

I completed my PhD in Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and Tinbergen Institute, under the supervision of Olivier Marie (EUR) and Nadine Ketel (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). I hold a Research Qualification from the Tinbergen Institute, a Master in Economics from the Erasmus School of Economics, and a Master of Laws from the Erasmus School of Law.

My main research interests include the economics of crime, gender, and labour economics. You can find more information on my research here.
