  • PhD in Data Theory, Center for Child and Family Studies and Data Theory, Leiden University (2007).
  • Junior Researcher at the Data Theory Group, Department of Education, Leiden University. The research project focuses on inference in multivariate categorical data analysis (2000-2007).
  • Master's thesis on flexibility in child care and the relation between different aspects of this concept and teacher stability, supervised by dr. Louis Tavecchio (2000).
  • M.A. in Education, cum laude, at the Center for Child and Family Studies, Department of Education, Leiden University (2000).
  • Research assistant with the project on Flexible Child Care conducted by Clasien de Schipper, with emphasis on project management and observing children in child care facilities (1999-2000).
  • Internship at the Netherlands Institute for Care and Welfare (Nederlands Instituut voor Zorg en Welzijn, NIZW), assessing the reliability and validity of a new observation instrument for the wellbeing of children in child care (1999).
  • Teaching assistant with dr. Pieter Kroonenberg and dr. Louis Tavecchio (1997-1998).
  • University education in Child and Family Studies, at the Department of Education, Leiden University (1995-2000).

Research areas and activities

  • Research methodology (Data Theory) and Child and Family Studies, with emphasis on:
  • Multivariate categorical data analysis, specifically CATPCA (categorical principal components analysis).
  • Inference with categorical data (using the bootstrap and permutation tests).
  • Child care, specifically the ORCE (Observational Record of the Caregiving Environment), part of the NICHD data set.
