My research focuses on socio-spatial inequalities, neighbourhood effects, and the spatial distribution of poverty and wealth across urban contexts. I am currently a PhD candidate in Urban Studies at TU Delft, where I use large-scale longitudinal administrative data from the Netherlands to study how neighbourhood socio-economic composition shapes individual income trajectories over time. Combining econometric, longitudinal, and spatial methods, my work examines how different ways of measuring socio-economic context (e.g. in terms of poverty, affluence, income, and wealth) influence our understanding of urban inequality and social stratification.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a Research Master in European Studies (Quantitative Analysis) at Maastricht University, where I conducted research on migration, ethnic concentration, and labour market integration. I also worked as a research intern at Statistics Netherlands (CBS), gaining experience with population register data and socio-economic demographic analysis.
