Ph.D. researcher (2012-2016) in the Department of Political and Social Sciences (SPS) at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. I hold an M.Phil. in Sociology (with distinction) from the University of Cambridge, and an M.Sc. in Social Research Methods ––with a second concentration in Social Policy Research–– from the London School of Economics (LSE). I completed my B.A. in Sociology at the University of Barcelona in 2010, spending one year as an Erasmus student at the Manchester Metropolitan University.
I have also collaborated as a research assistant in the Institute of Childhood and the Urban World (CIIMU), and in the Department of Sociology at the University of Barcelona (UB). I have recently conducted comparative research on hidden youth poverty in Europe, and I am currently interested in the educational attainment and the transition to the labour market of second-generation immigrants in Europe.
As a research assistant in the eduLIFE project (March 2013-), I am looking at the literature related to school-to-work transitions in a comparative perspective.
Research interests: methodology of social sciences, economic sociology, life-course inequalities, poverty and exclusion, international migration, urban sociology, labour market, and education.
