I am an Associate Professor [Profesor Titular] at the Department of Sociology II (Social Structure) of the National University of Distance Education (UNED, Madrid). I hold a PhD in Sociology with a European mention from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM, 2014). My doctoral thesis was developed with an FPI grant from the Ministry of Science and Innovation and a grant from the Sociological Research Centre (CIS). I also hold a BA in Sociology (UNED) and a BA in Journalism (UCM). 

My research interests focus on social stratification, international migration, the labour market, unemployment, immigrant population and their descendants. In 2014 I won the VI ISA Worldwide Competition for Junior Sociologists, organized by the International Sociological Association (ISA). In 2020 I also was awarded the UNED-Santander Prize of Research, Transfer and Dissemination (4th edition) for a scientific article published in Work, Employment and Society.

I have been a visiting researcher at the Department of Sociology at the Free University of Amsterdam (VU), MZES (University of Mannheim), COMPAS (University of Oxford), AIAS (UvA University of Amsterdam), and AMCIS (UvA University of Amsterdam). These research stays have been carried out with the support of competitive grants, one international (by the European Consortium for Sociological Research) and two nationals (Salvador Madariaga and José Castillejo programmes of the Ministry of Education). 

I am President of the Research Committee CI-25 (Sociology of Migrations) of the Spanish Federation of Sociology (FES) for 2025-2028 and was the Secretary between 2018-2024. I also am principal investigator of the MIRELI project (2025-2029), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. In 2025 I have obtained a Beca Leonardo grant for Scientific Research and Cultural Creation in the area of Social Sciences, financed by the BBVA Foundation.
