I work as assistant professor at the Sociology department at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. Previously I worked as assistant professor at Wageningen University. Before that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands on Melinda Mills’ VIDIproject ‘unravelling the interplay between genetics and fertility behavior’. I wrote my PhD on social inequalities in the effect of ‘negative’ events, such as divorce, on psychological well-being at Tilburg University. My supervisors were Matthijs Kalmijn (promotor, now at University of Amsterdam) and Christiaan Monden (copromotor, now at University of Oxford).
