I’m a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Antwerp and Université libre de Bruxelles. My research interests lie in family economics, labor economics and revealed preference theory.

I use structural and applied methods to investigate family decision-making, with particular emphasis on gender inequality. My work examines the intrahousehold allocation of time and expenditure, as well as fertility decisions. The primary objective is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the well-being of household members through a family-oriented framework.

In 2025-6, I will base at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics on their end-of-year external PhD fellowship.
