I am a social worker turned social scientist, currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Sociological Research of KU Leuven (Belgium). My main research interest and expertise lies in studying popular attitudes towards differently targeted and differently organized welfare state policies. Starting in 2025, I will be principal investigator of the ERC Starting Grant “Unravelling the Politics of Basic Income: How Responsive are Policymakers to Public Opinion” at the Centre for Social Policy of the University of Antwerp.
