I am a Senior Researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Center of the University of Turku, Finland. I am also a Docent in Political Science at the University of Turku.
Before joining University of Turku, I was an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in Chile. Previously, I served one year as a post-doctoral fellow at Tulane University (New Orleans, LA). I received my PhD in Political Science from Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ) in the spring of 2017.
My primary subfield is the political economy of inequality, political development and clientelism. As an applied methodologist I also have a strong interest in statistical as well as experimental methods (lab and survey-based).
