Hi 🙂

I am a social scientist interested in educational indicators and social outcomes of schooling in different societies. My research spreads across distinct fields such as comparative education, public policy, sociology of education and social research methods.

Currently, I am working as an Assistant Professor at the UCD School of Education. Previously, I have worked in the administration of the European Social Survey in Ireland and served as the coordinator for international statistics at the National Institute for Educational Research and Studies - INEP. I have also held research positions at the University of Bristol, University of Oxford, and University of Brasilia.
