I am a senior research fellow at the University of Melbourne, working on the topics of labor, family, gender and ageing.
My background is in economics and applied econometrics, and most of the time I do empirical research leveraging big administrative datasets.
Occasionally, I also post tips and tricks for researchers using Stata, and contribute to the Conversation.
