I am a social demographer with a PhD in Social Sciences from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). My research examines how demographic behaviour and health are shaped by families, social environments, and changing conditions across the life course.
My research lies at the intersection of demography and social epidemiology. I study how family relationships, social conditions, and life-course experiences shape fertility, health, and mortality, and how these processes vary across social groups and demographic contexts. Much of my work focuses on family demography, inequalities in health and survival, and the consequences of social and economic conditions for individual and population outcomes.
My doctoral research was conducted within the ECHO-ERC project at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), at the Institute of Economics, Geography, and Demography (IEGD). My dissertation focused on how family structures and social environments shape children's health and well-being, particularly in the context of disruptive or adverse life-course experiences.
I hold a master’s degree in Social Science from the Juan March Institute (IC3JM) at UC3M. I am also part of the INTRAREPRO project.
