hi, I am a
social science researcher with a
Ph.D. in sociology and a background in
journalism.
I have over
10 years of experience conducting both qualitative and quantitative research
across academic and industry settings. My doctoral research investigated
social closure categories, such as race, ethnicity and nation: how individuals socially construct them, what consequences these have for inequality, and how we can
design better policies to alleviate these. I use a variety of methods with a focus on
computational social science, statistics, and causal inference. My dissertation work involved designing, implementing, and analyzing an original survey and experiment distributed across 5 countries. I currently work as Postdoctoral Research Scientist applying computational methods and advanced causal inference approaches to understand how policy and institutional environments shape
substance use and public health outcomes, as well as studying how
AI is being implemented in healthcare settings , with a particular focus on the
human, social, and ethical dimensions of the design, use, and understanding of these tools.
I can speak
catalan,
spanish,
english and some
french with humans;
R,
python,
sql,
html,
css,
javascript and some
Stan with computers.
I have experience teaching
programming languages,
statistics, and
causal inference to graduate students, as well as
research methods to undergrads.
