Professional Summary:

I am a social demographer (PhD), currently appointed as a Ramón y Cajal research fellow at the Centre for Demographic Studies in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona 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.
