Biography

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain) and member of the SocioDemographics Research Group DemoSoc Group. Previously I was a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oxford’s Sociology Department and a Non-stipendiary Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nuffield College.

My work to date has explored questions about the intersections between social inequalities and the criminal justice system, with a strong focus on the effects of Criminal Background Checks (CBCs) –requests for information on previous convictions for non-judicial purposes-.

In my past research, I have mainly relied upon quantitative methods, including experimental audit designs. Notwithstanding, my work is methodologically plural, and I always strive to keep up to date with methodological developments in criminology, sociology and beyond. In recent years in my work I have relied on computational social science methods
