I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

My research primarily focuses on Health Economics, with a particular emphasis on reproductive health.

I have also worked on topics at the intersection of Education, Labor, and Gender, often from an Economic History perspective.
