Gerald Mollenhorst - Sociologist and Assistant Professor at the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University, the Netherlands.

I have many years of experience in social network research, specialising in how contextual opportunities and constraints affect the composition and structure of, and changes in personal networks – and how these network characteristics and contextual factors relate to life chances and behaviours of various actors, including neighbourhood residents, local entrepreneurs, prisoners, and young individuals (both natives and immigrants). Meanwhile, I have built up substantial expertise in collecting large-scale panel survey data with a particular focus on personal networks and changes therein over the years.
