Welcome

Hi! I am a Visiting Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute (III) at the LSE and currently work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Government at the University of Chile, where I also coordinate the Diploma in Poverty and Inequality. In addition, I work as a consultant for ECLAC, focusing on multidimensional inequality within the Social Development Division.

My research focuses on the measurement of poverty, inequality, and new approaches to well-being, as well as on economic insecurity in transforming labour markets and regional disparities shaped by territorial and institutional contexts. More broadly, I am interested in the evolution of welfare states, labour instability, material and subjective well-being, and the institutional capacities that sustain effective systems of social protection. My current work develops new economic and social well-being measures aimed at improving public policy design and contributing to more inclusive and sustainable development in emerging countries.

I obtained a PhD in Social Policy from the LSE. I also hold a BA in Industrial Engineering, an MSc in Economy and Environmental Management, and postgraduate studies in Sociology from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Before joining the International Inequalities Institute, I founded and directed the Social Observatory at Universidad Alberto Hurtado in Chile, specializing in longitudinal data for social policy design, implementation, and monitoring.

I am a member of the WAPLAC Network (Welfare and Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean), WEIPO (Wellbeing, Inequality, Poverty and Public Policy group at the University of Alcalá de Henares, Spain), and the Work and Employment Thematic Group of the HDCA (Human Development & Capability Association). This year, I also co-organized the mini-conference Social and Political Dynamics of Insecurity at the SASE 2026 Conference in Bordeaux.
