Research expertise/competencies
My scientific career has mainly focused on investigating population health inequalities in different groups as they age, and its relationship to demographic dynamics and individual well-being. Currently, my lines of research consist of analyzing the healthy life trajectories of individuals from different socio-demographic groups to measure the evolution of true comorbidity patterns; examining the healthy immigrant paradox by levels of education, and studying the evolution of gender inequalities in health when aging.

About
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political and Social Science at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). I am a member of the SocioDemographics Research Group (DemoSoc) at UPF. I earned two master's degrees, one in Business and one in Actuarial Science and Finance, before getting my Ph.D. from the University of Barcelona in 2009. I concluded a two-year postdoctoral fellow in the Multidisciplinary Research Training Program in Gerontology working with Dr. Eileen M. Crimmins at the University of Southern California (USC, USA) and I was a research fellow in the "Mortality, Health and Epidemiology" Unit at Institut national d’Études Demographiques (Ined, Paris) (2013-2014). I am periodically visiting researcher at Ined (Paris), at USC (Los Angeles), and at the Max Planck Institute for Demography – MPIDR (Rostock).
