I am interested in transitions, health and well-being, sustainability, and research methods.
Most of my research involves the collection and statistical analysis of big data sets. In some projects, I employ experimental designs and qualitative methods as well.
I joined the University of Luxembourg as an Associate Professor in 2016. Since 2020, I am Head of the Centre for Childhood and Youth Research.
Prior to this, I have conducted research at the universities of Basel, Bern, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Stanford.
A selection of ongoing funded projects:
