Bio: Researcher at the Center for Health Economics at the University of York since 2022. I have collaborated with the INSP Health Economics Directorate since 2015 on different projects related to costing of health interventions, organizational network analysis, causal evaluation, and identification of managerial capacity in health.

My line of research deals with different topics in the Economics of Wellbeing, in particular, the application of econometric methods to research questions related to causal evaluation and inequality in health. I am interested in the topics of nutrition in adults, social and care policy, efficiency, quality and managerial capacity in organizations that provide health services. In my spare time I like to learn about practices that facilitate transparency and reproducibility of quantitative analysis in the social sciences.
