I am currently a MSCA Research Fellow in the International Institute of Social History, KNAW (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), where I develop a project concerning work, labour relations and empire building in the Indian Ocean.
My research focuses in global living standards, gender, and work and occupational structures since 1500. My work aims to tackle a number of issues in historical perspective, such as the rise and maintenance of inequalities, as well as the evolution of the wellbeing of past populations in compared perspective.
Among other roles, I am Co-Editor of Continuity & Change, a journal of social structure, law, and demography in past societies.
