About

I am an associate professor in the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where I am a member of the Sociodemography Research Group. My research explores human mobility, inequality, and health from the perspectives of multiple disciplines, including sociodemography, ecology, and law.
