I am a sociologist investigating social inequality, with a particular focus on gender disparities and labor market discrimination. My research further seeks to deepen our understanding of how multiple dimensions of inequality – such as gender, ethnicity, and class – intersect to shape social and economic outcomes. I use quantitative and experimental methods to answer my research questions.
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Sociology at LMU Munich. Additionally, I am an associated researcher at the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” at the University of Konstanz and a member of the Centre for Social Inequality Studies (CSIS) at the University of Trento.
Previously, I completed my PhD at the University of Trento and was a visiting researcher at the University of Konstanz. I hold a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Trento, as well as a Master’s in Sociology and Demography from Pompeu Fabra University.
My research has been published in journals including Sociological Science, European Sociological Review, and Research in Social Stratification and Mobility. I have received several awards for my work, including the 2024 FReDA International User Conference Best Presentation Award and the 2023 Research in Social Stratification and Mobility Best Paper Award.
Recently, I received funding for a collaborative LMU-NYU research project titled “Unveiling Social Status Signals and Their Consequences: Evidence from a Cross-National Factorial Survey Experiment”, co-led with Katrin Auspurg and Guillermina Jasso.
