Hi,

I am Tony Atkinson Fellow at LIS Cross-national Data Center and Research Associate at Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research, under the LIS2ER Joint Initiative. I obtained my PhD in Social Policy in October 2024 from the University of Oxford. In addition to the UK and Luxembourg, I previously worked as a visiting researcher in Germany (University of Mannheim, Humboldt University of Berlin), Finland (Finnish Centre for Pensions), the US (University of Michigan), and South Korea (Seoul National University) for various international collaborative projects.

As a quantitative social scientist and social policy researcher, my research broadly focuses on how social inequalities are shaped - reduced or reproduced - by welfare state institutions and social policies from a comparative perspective, against the common challenge of demographic transition and changing labor markets. The key topics of my research include inequalities in pensions and labour markets, poverty, income and wealth inequality, and social policy attitudes.

My research has been published in some of the leading journals in my field, such as the Journal of European Social Policy, Social Forces, Social Policy & Administration, and Socio-Economic Review.
