Centre for Childhood and Youth Research

I am interested in social inequality, work, health, 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.

Apart from my substantive interests, I currently examine the suitability of statistical models to investigate social inequalities in a range of health outcomes. My other methodological research is on validity in experimental designs and the application of Bayesian statistics in social research and beyond.

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.

Some ongoing funded research projects:

  • Young People and COVID-19: Social, Economic, and Health Consequences of Infection Prevention and Control Measures among Young People in Luxembourg (YAC+), 2020-2021, (PI).
  • Social Mobility and Inequalities in Health. Patterns of Intra- and Intergenerational Dynamics, 2018–2022, (PI).
  • An Analysis of Measures Addressing Young People in Challenging Transitions, 2018–2020, (PI).
  • Health and Well-Being of Young People in Luxembourg, 2018–2021, (Co-PI).
  • Employability among Young People in Luxembourg, 2017–2021, (PI).
  • Employers’ Hiring Decisions in Relation to Young People, 2017–2021, (PI).
  • Luxembourg Youth Survey, 2016–2025, (PI).
