Biography
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.
Teaching
- Quantitative Methods (Master in Social Sciences).
- Experimental Methods in Social Science (INVEST PhD and Masters).
Research
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).
