I am a PhD student in applied economics at the department of economics at University of Antwerp, and KU Leuven. My PhD research focuses on the gender pension gap in Europe within an increasingly privatised pension system. It is funded by FWO Vlaanderen. Broad research interests include: pension economics, gender inequality in the labour market and active labour market policies. My supervisors are Suncica Vujic and Nick Deschacht. Additional members of my PhD committee are Sam Cosaert (chair) and Marjan Maes (external)
