Description
I am Assistant Professor in sociology (without tenure) at Stockholm University and an associate member at Sciences Po and Åbo Akademi University in Finland. I am currently also Principal Investigator of the Segregation Across Domains project (awarded by the Swedish funding body FORTE, €435,000 in October 2023), which assesses workplace and neighbourhood segregation using Swedish register data. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the French Institute for Demographic Studies within the 3GEN project (PI Mathieu Ichou) and conducted an international postdoc project (awarded by FORTE, €218,000 in May 2021). My research interests lie in social stratification, migration, and gender.
My ongoing research focuses on migration and social mobility in Europe and the United States. I am currently engaged in empirical work assessing social and spatial mobility in Sweden and France. I also assess how ethnic enclaves captured through neighborhoods and workplaces shape the socioeconomic trajectories of immigrants and their descendants. I further study intergenerational persistence in gender disparities across education fields of study and its potential implications for labor market gaps. I analyze both administrative and survey data, including linked Finnish and Swedish register data and the French Trajectories and Origins 2 (TeO2) survey. I use a variety of quantitative methods, among others difference in differences models, event history analysis, and fixed effects models.
My work has appeared in Demography, Social Science Research, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, European Journal of Population, and Population Research and Policy Review, among other outlets.
