Postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University and the Swedish Institute for Social Research
HELLO, WORLD!
Welcome to my website! I am an applied labor economist, broadly interested in understanding the causes and consequences of socio-economic and health inequality across demographic groups. My recent work often includes a gender perspective. I also do interdisciplinary research on the life circumstances of LGBTQ+ populations.
​​​Since autumn 2025, I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Economics at Uppsala University and the Swedish Institute for Social Research. I am also affiliated with the Center for Educational Leadership and Excellence at Stockholm School of Economics, where I lead a four-year project (2026-2029) about school eligibility policies that exclude low-achieving students from upper-secondary education.
