I am an associate professor of Sociology at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. I am a member of the Inter-university Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS) and the ISA RC28 Social Stratification and Mobility. I obtained my PhD in sociology in 2014 at Utrecht University, focusing on long-term trends in intergenerational social mobility in Hungary. Between 2014 and 2018, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher within the ERC-financed Sustainable Workforce project, a multi-country study of organizational investments in employees across Europe.
My work has focused on the consequences of organizational employment practices—particularly the adoption of flexible work and employment arrangements—for workplace inequality and employee outcomes. Since 2015, I have represented the Netherlands in the Comparative Organizations and Inequality Network (COIN), a research collaboration studying workplace wage inequality from an international perspective. Within this collaboration, I focus on the consequences of organizational change for gender inequality in wages, using register-based linked employer–employee datasets.
My research has been published in European Sociological Review, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, History of the Family, and Social Science Research. I am currently co-editing, with Tanja van der Lippe, a multi-country comparative book on organizational policies for workforce sustainability, titled Investments in Sustainable Employment in Europe (Routledge, 2019).
