Ella Van Landeghem is a PhD candidate in Social Sciences at the Institute of Tropical Medicine and the University of Antwerp, where she is also a member of the Network on Migration and Global Mobility (MIGLOBA).

Beyond her PhD, she has contributed to multiple research projects, such as the CORE project on community-led and cross-sector partnerships, qualitative social network analysis for the COLIBRI project and Quality of Life research among people living with HIV.
