Researcher

University of Antwerp

Employed as a researcher at the Herman Deleeck Centre for Social Policy. My main activity, along with work for my PhD, has been to work on updating the longstanding CSB-MIPI dataset of comparative institutional minimum income indicators, using hypothetical household simulation tools included in the European tax-benefit microsimulation tool EUROMOD. Other activities have included data collection for colleagues, presentations at conferences arranged by FISS, the Social Policy Association and Espanet, and participation in a departmental project on Universal Basic Income, where I contributed to insights ont the political economy of its introduction.

Currently, my main activities are further analysis of the new MIPI-HHoT dataset and an extension of housing policies in EUROMOD under the scope of the European InGRID-2 project.
