I am an applied quantitative researcher with an interest in multidimensional poverty and the early stages of the life course. Currently, I am a Ramon y Cajal Fellow and tenure track assistant professor at the department of Political and Social Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.
My research and teaching span across the disciplines of social policy, sociology and development studies. Previously I held a Beatriu de Pinós Marie Curie Postdoctoral fellowship examining intra-household inequalities between children and adults in Europe at Centre d’Estudis Demogràfics, in Barcelona. During my career I have worked at University of Bristol and Cardiff University (UK), and collaborated in national and international projects, working with diverse institutions such as the UK Home Office, the Tonga Bureau of Statistics, and the African Child Policy Forum.
My interest in measurement led me to work in a range of areas including violence in teenage relationships and estimating the prevalence of sex work in the UK. You can find my work in the publications section of the website.
I am also Associate Editor at the Journal of Poverty and Social Justice.
