I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain) and member of the SocioDemographics Research Group (DemoSoc). Since September 2022 I hold a Maria Zambrano fellowship. Previously I was a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford’s Sociology Department.

My work to date has explored questions about the intersections between social inequalities and the criminal justice system, with a strong focus on the effects of Criminal Background Checks (CBCs) –requests for information on previous convictions for non-judicial purposes-.

In my past research, I have mainly relied upon quantitative methods, including experimental audit designs. Notwithstanding, my work is methodologically plural, and I always strive to keep up to date with methodological developments in criminology, sociology and beyond. In recent years, I have relied on computational social science methods.
