Professional Summary:

I am a social demographer (PhD), currently appointed as a Professor (Catedràtic contractat) at the Department of Sociology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and as a researcher at the Centre for Demographic Studies (CED-CERCA), where I act as a head of the Generations and Life Course research group. I have substantive expertise in several fields of demographic research –particularly family dynamics and spatial mobility– and social inequality research –particularly housing and labour market outcomes. My research adopts life course and cross-national approaches, and uses state-of-the-art quantitative methods for the analysis of longitudinal data.
