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 Generation and Gender Surveys (GGS), 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.
