I am currently an assistant professor at Utrecht University in Interdisciplinary Social Science department affiliated with European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER). I hold a Ph.D in Data Science from Scuola Normale Superiore in Italy. Prior to joining Utrecht University, I was a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in the Department of Digital and Computational Demography.
My work revolves around developing innovative methods to enhance relevant statistics on international migration using big data analytics. My primary research areas lie in international (human) migration, data science, and network science. Moreover, my research is informed by and intersects with fields such as economics, political science, and digital sociology.
My current research interests focus on exploring how big data sources can aid our understanding of the socio-political and cultural contexts of migration, including the role of social networks, integration, and attitudes towards migration.
