Academic interests

I am fascinated by the intersection of applied economics and genetics, particularly in the areas of education, health, gender, migration, and social inequality. My research endeavors integrate theoretical models with robust causal inference methodologies, utilizing large-scale datasets at the micro-level. This approach not only sheds light on the mechanisms underlying my findings but also facilitates the simulation of alternative policies. Currently, I am engaged in a project aimed at identifying causal intergenerational effects on educational achievement, using novel methods to distinguish between the direct and indirect genetic effects of mothers and fathers on their offspring's educational outcomes. This project is supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN).
