Bio & Contact

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY, USA).

Substantively, my research focuses on improving our understanding of:

  • how environmental exposures contribute to the (re)production of social inequality, with a focus on heat and health outcomes.
  • how exposure to residential neighborhoods, activity spaces, and urban mobility impact individuals’ daily lives.

Methodologically, I am interested in:

  • how the measurement of environmental exposures shapes our understanding of their effects on demographic outcomes.
  • leveraging spatial, GPS, and individual-level data to better understand the reproduction of inequality in real time.
  • developing conceptual and empirical tools to assess and correct biases emerging from computational and non-probabilistic sources of data collection.
