Welcome to my website!

I am a postdoctoral research fellow for the FIS2 project SO-UNFER – Social Uncertainty and Fertility in Europe at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Bologna. I hold a Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences awarded by the European University Institute (EUI).

My research spans a broad set of questions in population studies, ranging from climate-related impacts on demographic behavior to fertility intentions and behaviors in Europe. I also examine demographic processes in low- and middle-income countries, with particular attention to how factors such as gender gaps and patterns of intergenerational co-residence influence children’s chances of survival.

My work is based on quantitative analyses of large-scale data. I have worked with data such as Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), Survey on Health and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and others.

I have worked as an adjunct professor of Economic and Business Demography and as a teaching assistant in Demography and Social Demography at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Bologna. I have also worked as a teaching assistant of Microsociology and Family Demography at the Department of Social Sciences of the Humboldt University.
