He joined the EUI in February 2018, while on leave from Stockholm University. He took his PhD from the EUI in 2007, and was a postdoc at Yale before moving to Stockholm in 2009. He was visiting professor at the University of Turku (2010-18). His research interests cover life course research, the causes and consequences of family dynamics and structure, social stratification, and health. His recent publications have covered antecedent and outcomes of divorce, social stratification in health, and educational inequality.
