I am Associate Professor of Political Science at the Department of Social Sciences, Universidad Católica del Uruguay (UCU). I am also Instructor at the Methods Winter School at UCU; where I was founding director of the Social and Political Sciences Department (2012-2016) and Director of Graduate Studies at the Department of Social Sciences (2019-2021). I have been a research fellow at the Universidade de Lisboa, Universidad Mayor de Chile and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I serve as Editor at the Latin American Political Economy Series, Palgrave MacMillan. I obtained my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2012).
My research focuses on the political economy of redistribution and inequality. I am particularly interested in the study of comparative capitalisms, education & skills formation, crime and welfare, and the dynamics of distribution. I teach courses on political economy, econometrics and research design. My work appears in Economics & Politics, Third World Quarterly, Journal of Latin American Studies, Latin American Research Review, CEPAL Review, Revista de Ciencia Política, Revista Reforma y Democracia, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Palgrave MacMillan and Springer. I am also a research consultant for multilateral and national agencies.

MAIN CURRENT PROJECTS
Book: Twittarquia. La politica de las redes en Uruguay
This project, in collaboration with Martin Opertti, Cecilia Giambruno (graduate student, Public Policy), Nacho Borba (undergraduate student, Sociology) and Rafael Pineiro aims to learn how the electoral contest translates into the social media, in particular Twitter. We analyze sentiments, tendencies, networks and possible effects of social media in vote attitudes. We use R for web- scrapping and a varied analysis.

Crime, Police and Citizens' Perceptions
This project focuses on learning, using quasi-experimental and experimental designs, the short- and long-term effects of raid and saturation operations in the most troubled neighborhoods of Montevideo as well as to learn about the effects of fear of gangs and confidence in the police on crime reporting behavior.

Skills Regimes & Employers' coordination in Latin America
This project, in collaboration with Aldo Madariaga (CIDE) focuses on the supply and demand of skills in Latin America, a heavily under-analysed topic. We compare the provision and level of skills in Latin America with those of advanced economies, and identify skills regimes in the region. Drawing on the growing comparative political economy of skills literature, we seek to understand the relation between these skill regimes and patterns of inequality and economic specialization. The project offers a first comprehensive characterization of skills regimes in a region characterized by low-skills, low-productivity and high-inequality.

Book Project: Distributive Strategies in Latin America & Southern Europe
This project reveals the coalitional dynamics that give rise to varied paths of integration into the global economy in emerging market economies by comparing Latin America with Mediterranean Europe. The distributive conflict between labor, business and the state, accounts for the main distinction between models of capitalism. Although a rich tradition on the study of models of capitalism has developed in the last quarter of century, the scholarship has not engaged primarily in Latin America or in comparative accounts between this region and Europe or North America.

NEW PROJECT: Big Data applied to public opinion surveys
This project (w/Rosario Queirolo) aims to create a longitudinal dataset from pooling public opinion data from 1993 to 2020. This is collaborative project with four Uruguayan pollsters (Equipos Consultores, CIFRA, Grupo Radar and Opción Consultores) and the ROPER Center for Public Opinion Research at Cornell University.
