Degree in Development Economics (Parma University), Master’s degree in Economic and Social Sciences (Bocconi University) and PhD in Sociology (Oxford University). I worked as a post-doc and teaching fellow at the London School of Economic and the French Institute of Demographic Studies (INED) before joining the Research Group on Social Determinants of Health and Demographic Change-OPIK as an Ikerbasque Research Fellow in 2022.

My main research interests are the determinants and consequences of fertility behavior, including late fertility and the use of medically assisted reproduction. I have also worked on the health consequences of other life-course events such as couple dissolution.
