About me 

 

I am the deputy scientific director of the Erasmus Happiness Economics Research Organization (EHERO) based at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I also serve as a (visiting) associate professor at the University of Johannesburg, associate editor for the Journal of Happiness Studies and Applied Research in Quality of Life, and as an executive board member at the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies (ISQOLS).

​

I am passionate about studying human happiness, particularly in relation to work, migration, societal dynamics, and broad prosperity. My work is motivated by my commitment to developing and disseminating evidence-based information on human happiness to support organizations, policy makers, and individuals in making informed decisions. To bridge the gap between science and practice, I regularly engage in research collaborations with practitioners, such as policy makers aiming to improve societal well-being and organizations working to enhance employee well-being. More information about my professional activities is available in my cv.​

​

I welcome new collaborations with organizations and societal partners. Organizations interested in promoting employee well-being may particularly benefit from EHERO's "Codekrakers" research program.
