I am an Assistant Professor in Economic and Social History, specialized in migrant integration and naturalization, at Utrecht University.
To provide some examples of my work: I have examined the role of educational mismatches in the labor market integration of migrants in the Netherlands. In another project, I assessed the impact of a complex reform of German citizenship law on migrant naturalization in Germany. Currently, I am involved in a project that studies the long-term effectiveness of integration policies for refugees’ labor market integration in the Netherlands. In addition, I am developing a new research line analyzing the long-term impact of environmental change on migration.
I am a migration scholar with an interdisciplinary profile. I obtained my PhD in Economics from Utrecht University in 2017 with a dissertation entitled On the move: Analyzing immigration determinants and immigrant outcomes. Afterward, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Political Science at Maastricht University within the project Migrant Life Course and Legal Status Transition.
