Welcome! I am a PhD in Applied Economics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain). Currently, I work as a Postdoctoral fellow in Department ABC, at Politecnico di Milano (Italy).
My research focuses on regional economics. I have a special interest on the effects of mining and other primary sector activities on the regional economy and human capital distribution. Also, I have worked in the field of regional market concentration and income redistribution.
In 2024, I was honored to receive the 1st Place of the RSAI Young Researchers Prize.
Before entering academia, I worked as a Financial Advisory Consultant for mining workers unions, contributing to collective bargaining processes with organizations such as Sindicato Nº1 de Trabajadores de Minera Escondida, Sindicato de Trabajadores Minera Guanaco, Sindicato de Trabajadores Minera Zaldívar, and Sindicato de Trabajadores Minera Centinela.
