Bio & Contact

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

My research focuses on the intersection between environmental demography, sociology of health and illness, and social inequality. The three questions that guide my research are: (1) How do environmental hazards contribute to the (re)production of social inequality?; (2) What are the social mechanisms that shape people’s vulnerability to climate change and the environment?; and (3) How do our measures of environmental exposures shape our understanding of their impact on demographic outcomes?

My work has been published in Scientific Reports, Social Science & Medicine, Population, Space, and Place, and PLOS One. I have worked with scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including physics, medicine, and geography. I love tackling questions from multidisciplinary perspectives.
