Personal profile

Research summary

I hold a PhD in Economics from the School of Economics at Gothenburg University, Sweden. Currently, I am a Research Scientist at LISER’s Department of Living Conditions (formerly CEPS/INSTEAD) in Luxembourg. My research focuses on behavioral microsimulation, particularly in discrete choice labor supply models, optimal taxation, and poverty dynamics.

Since 2019, I have been the Luxembourg country coordinator for EUROMOD, the European Union’s tax-benefit microsimulation model. EUROMOD is a sophisticated tool used to evaluate the impact of tax and social policies on household incomes across EU countries. In this role, I coordinate national data integration, model validation, and policy simulations to support evidence-based decision-making at both national and EU levels.

From 2017 to 2020, I was a Visiting Research Fellow at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD). I also have extensive expertise in software programming and econometric computing for advanced model analysis.
