His research primarily investigates how economic and cultural stratification impacts value orientations, voting behavior, and health outcomes in Western societies.

He holds a PhD from Erasmus University Rotterdam, awarded in 2010, and is a full professor at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Additionally, he is a fellow member of the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities, and an alumnus of Young Erasmus.
