SOF. H12B | Department of Economics | Schönberggasse 1, 8001 Zürich
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics of the University of Zurich and the Jacobs Centre for Productive Youth Development. I am also a Research Affiliate at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
My work explores the effects of public policies on youth development and crime. I obtained my PhD in Economics from the University of Warwick in May 2025. I was selected for the EALE Tour 2025. In 2024, I was awarded the British Spanish Society scholarship. In 2023 I visited the University of Chicago as a Fulbright US-UK scholar.
