About me and what I do

I am sociologist and a postdoctoral researcher at the European University Institute (Italy) at the Department of Political and Social Sciences, where I work for the ERC project TARGETS led by Prof. Valentina Di Stasio. We have just collected quasi-diary survey data from migrant and native-origin job seekers in the Netherlands to understand how they perceive the process of job search, which strategies they implement and how they react to positive and negative events.

I am interested in understanding how inequalities in the labour market are produced across different sociodemographic groups, with a particular focus on those concerning gender and ethnicity. I also investigate segregation processes, and their interplay with individuals' attitudes and values. I do so from a quantitative perspective, analysing survey data and administrative registers.

My entire background is in Sociology. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Sociology (2015) at the University of Alicante (Spain), and a Master's degree in Research in Sociology and Demography (2019) at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). Later, I moved to Switzerland, where I spent some of the happiest years of my life at the University of Lausanne, where I earned a PhD in Social Sciences in September of 2023. After my PhD defence, I worked for one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Konstanz, where I also had the pleasure to teach two Bachelor seminars. In October of 2024 I moved to the European University Institute (Florence), where I am working as a (postdoctoral) Research Fellow.
