I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Sociological Research at KU Leuven. My research interests lie in dynamics of attitude formation towards migrants/migration, with a particular interest in the role of intergroup contact, media effects, and personality traits. I also have a growing interest in aspects of adolescent development and family relations, and am currently involved in several research projects regarding the societal impact of COVID-19.
