I am a labour economist, I've finished my PhD in 2007. Main research interests are labour economics, flexible labour and labour market dynamics. I work as a researcher at Reflect, Tilburg University (and sometimes as a guest researcher at Delft University of Technology)

I like to cook (and eat), travel, rollerblade, ride my recumbent bike, try to play the saxophone, speedskate, watch football (cannot play anymore, bad knee :-( ), run (every once in a while).
