I am a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation at the University of Chicago and the Institute for Analytical Sociology at Linköping University.
My research examines how social inequalities persist and evolve within spatial and institutional contexts. I focus in particular on the dynamic relationship between social networks, residential segregation, and stratification.

As a computational social scientist, I integrate approaches from sociology, urban studies, and complexity science, combining agent-based modeling,
information theory, discrete choice models, and network analysis with large-scale administrative data from Sweden and the Netherlands. I am particularly interested in how statistical information can be used to uncover the mechanisms behind spatial inequality, social influence, and intergroup relations. This perspective allows me to move beyond description, identifying patterns and relationships in data that shed light on both enduring and emerging forms of inequality.

At the Mansueto Institute, I explore how cities function as structured spaces of interaction, revealing feedback loops between place, opportunity, and social mobility. My broader aim is to develop computational and data-driven approaches that not only advance theory but also inform equitable urban policy.

I hold a PhD in Analytical Sociology from the Institute of Analytical Sociology at Linköping University, Sweden. Before my doctoral studies, I earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Economics from the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.
