I am a post doctoral researcher at the Department of Economics, Universitat de Barcelona, a junior researcher with the Frankfurt Quantitative Macro Group at Goethe University and a member of the Barcelona Economic Analysis Team (BEAT). Previously I received my PhD from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in 2021.

My main area of research is macroeconomics and labour economics. In particular, I am interested in family, demography, and quantitative macroeconomics.

I will spend (most of) the 2024-2025 academic year as a visitor at the International Economics Section at Princeton University.
