Welcome
About me
I am a fifth-year PhD student in Economics at the 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, education, discrimination, and labour economics. In my PhD thesis, I focus on the causes and mechanisms behind unfavourable socioeconomic outcomes. You can find more information on my research here.
