I am a professor (professeure des universités) at Sciences Po, Paris, and associated researcher at the Institut National d'Etudes Démographiques (Ined) in Paris, France.  I am also a member of the LIEPP (the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies), where I co-direct the Educational Policies research group. 

Previously, I was chargée de recherche (permanent researcher) at INED; ESRC Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the London School of Economics & Political Sciences (LSE); and Research Fellow at University College London (UCL). I obtained my PhD in 2012 from UCL, based at the ESRC International Centre for Lifecourse Studies.

My research focuses on describing and explaining socio-economic inequalities in health and well being, with a focus on child outcomes and family processes. Previous projects have explored the dynamic measurement of poverty and deprivation in childhood; the impact of family structure dynamics on children's health, development and the risk of child poverty and deprivation; the evaluation of early childhood education and care policies for child development; and the comparison of socioeconomic gradients in different domains of child health and development across national contexts. Current work in progress focuses on the role of air pollution in the production of socioeconomic inequalities in child development, and the evaluation of family policies such as child benefits for child poverty, health, and development.  My research makes use of longitudinal methods and data, notably birth cohorts such as the UK Millennium Cohort Study, and the French birth cohort Elfe, as well as administrative data sources.
