I am a family sociologist and demographer who is broadly interested in population dynamics and gender inequality over the life course and across high-income countries. Currently, I am a Ramon y Cajal researcher at the Centre for Demographic Studies in Barcelona, Spain. I received my PhD in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (August 2021), where I was trained at the Center for Demography and Ecology. My work has been published in journals, such as Demography, Social Forces, Journal of Marriage and Family, and Demographic Research. Starting in July 2025, I will be the principal investigator of the ERC Starting Grant project 'SINGLE: Understanding the Demography and Stratification of Singlehood in Europe.' SINGLE is a 5-year project funded by the European Commission (ERC-2024-STG-101163333-SINGLE).
