About

Welcome to my personal webpage. I am an assistant professor in the La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am also an affiliate of the UW-Madison Center for Demography and Ecology, the UW-Madison Center for Demography of Health and Aging, and UW-Madison European Studies.

My general research interests are in substantive topics within population economics. I am interested in the determinants and measurement of fertility and health and mortality inequality. 

I am part the editorial team of the European Journal of Ageing as an associate editor. I also edit the NEP-DEM, a weekly newsletter of new working papers in demographic economics featured in IDEAS. You can subscribe to it here.
