I am an economist and I am finishing my master's degree in development with a major in social policy. My main interest is poverty and inequality, I focus on understanding them from their conceptualization and measurement to generate better policies that address the deepest needs of these phenomena that are intertwined with many others. Currently I focus my research on residential segregation and the relationship of social policies with this phenomenon, and at the same time I am doing an internship at the UNDP in the office of the Human Development Report.

I am a scientist and an inspiring educator. I am a tireless advocate for diversity, equality and inclusion in education and technology, with an extensive work of support to underrepresented and disadvantaged communities in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine. My goal is to create diverse and open spaces to bring together scientists, technologists, thinkers, philosophers, artists, creators and members of the public to shape my own research and teaching goals. I strive to reach people with less access to information for reasons of age, education, income or origin.
