About me

My research interests span health, education, labour markets and social policy, with a particular focus on how public policies and institutions affect people's opportunities and well-being. Throughout my career, I have combined quantitative research and policy evaluation with policy-oriented analysis and advice.

Academic background

I hold a PhD in Economics from Maastricht University (2022). My doctoral research examined the direct and indirect effects of public policies and interventions on physical activity, educational outcomes and organ donation.  

I also hold a MSc in Public Administration from Radboud University Nijmegen (2012, cum laude) and am a Research Affiliate of the IZA@LISER Network.

IRDES | Research Fellow (since 2026)

Since June 2026, I have been working at the Institute for Research and Information in Health Economics (IRDES) in Paris, where I am part of a team evaluating a new financing model for chronic kidney disease care in France.

The INFI-MRC project examines whether introducing pay-for-coordination can improve the organisation, quality and efficiency of care for patients with chronic kidney disease. My work focuses on evaluating the medical and economic effects of this reform, drawing on large-scale administrative healthcare data and quasi-experimental evaluation methods.

IPP / Paris School of Economics | Post-doctoral researcher (2024-2026)

Before joining IRDES, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut des Politiques Publiques (IPP) at the Paris School of Economics, in collaboration with DREES, the statistical service of the French Ministries of Health and Social Affairs. My research focused on informal caregiving, particularly the characteristics and circumstances of people providing unpaid care to relatives or friends with disabilities, chronic illnesses or loss of autonomy.

I worked on several complementary studies, examining the prevalence and intensity of informal caregiving in France, how caregiving patterns evolved between 2008 and 2022, and how caregiving relates to physical and mental health across European countries. These projects involved analysing large-scale French and European survey data.

OECD | Economist (2018-2024)

As an economist in the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (ELS), I conducted quantitative and qualitative research, engaged with policymakers and other stakeholders across countries, and translated empirical findings into actionable policy recommendations.

In my most recent role, I led research projects on the trustworthy use of artificial intelligence in the workplace. My work examined how AI and algorithmic management affect workers and organisations, and how public policies can help maximise their benefits while mitigating potential risks. I also worked on the implications of AI for social protection and contributed to the development of an international employer survey on algorithmic management.

Previously, as part of the skills team, I was responsible for the Skills for Jobs database, which provides internationally comparable information on labour market imbalances and skills needs. I also led research on the potential of AI to support adult learning and contributed to projects on skills anticipation, vocational education and training, adult learning policies and the green transition.

ROA / Maastricht University | Researcher (2012-2015)

Earlier in my career, I worked at the Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) at Maastricht University, where my research focused on education-to-work transitions. My projects examined issues such as early school leaving, young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs), and the labour market outcomes of vocational education graduates.
