He has published widely on both the Netherlands and on comparative housing research across European contexts. He is the recipient of an ongoing Veni fellowship for his project ‘WEALTHSCAPES: the spatial inequality of housing wealth accumulation’ looking at the role of both housing market spatial polarization and divided housing access in driving wealth inequalities.
