I am a sociologist interested in social stratification patterns, mobility effects and inequalities. Other research interests include statistical analysis and quantitative methods for cross-sectional and longitudinal data, labor market dynamics and educational credentials.

I joined the Research Unit INSIDE in September 2018 as a Ph.D. student. My doctoral project, under the supervision of Prof. Robin Samuel, aims to deepen the understanding related to social mobility effects on health inequalities.

The doctoral project addresses:

the current methodological concerns in the literature of social stratification,
the implications of up- and downward mobility considering individual conditions (i.e. educational level, occupational status, and income),
how macro-structural institutions affect the inequality of opportunity on health.

Prior to joining the University of Luxembourg, I obtained an M.Sc. in Sociology and Social Research (Social Inequalities) at the University of Trento in March 2018. My Master Thesis focused on the time-varying and joint mechanism of: a) radical shift of the mode of economic production and b) educational stratification on income inequalities in China.

Preparing for the post-pandemic challenges

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the humanities and social sciences took a strong interest in this health crisis. While a lot of projects are examining the management and impact of the pandemic on our current lives, one of them wishes to look further. "Young People and COVID-19 - Social, Economic, and Health Consequences of Infection Prevention and Control Measures for Young People in Luxembourg", aims to monitor the short-term and long-term impact of the crisis on the 16-29 years old in Luxembourg.
