I am a demographer currently exploring inequalities in fertility, family formation, and maternal health outcomes across the post-2010 fertility decline in Europe and elsewhere. I also work with theories and frameworks from the social sciences to help understand population dynamics and relationships between biological and social processes in reproduction.
