She has expertise in both quantitative and qualitative (comparative) research methods.
She was recently actively involved in the H2020-SC6-GOVERNANCE-01-2019: Trust in Governance and Regulation in Europe consortium (TiGRE, 2020-2023), grant agreement nr 870722
She has a long-standing and fruitful collaboration with the University of Antwerp and is a visiting professor in the University of Antwerp’s Centre of Excellence Trust and distrust in multi-level governance (GOVTRUST).
