Profile
My research focuses on employment relations, social dialogue and the regulation of work with a core focus on skills formation and training. I am currently researching these themes in relation to two contexts: workers and the green transition and labour mobilities. Prior to joining LUBS, I worked for 15 years as a policy researcher and consultant in the fields of labour market, skills and worker education for governments, NGOs, HE and trade unions.
