Welcome to my website. I am a Post Doctoral Associate in Economics at New York University Abu Dhabi . I hold a PhD in Economics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and Barcelona School of Economics
My research interests are in Macroeconomics, Labor Economics, Family Economics, Growth and Development, Inequality and Policy.
I am in the 2025/2026 Job Market.
In my Job Market Paper, I present the first model that quantitatively examines how differencial learning about HIV transmission channels influences the trajectory of the HIV epidemic over time across educational groups in SSA. I find that 5-year earlier learning reduces new AIDS deaths by almost 45%, and a 10-year earlier learning results in a 60% drop in deaths, significantly mitigating the negative effects of the epidmic.
