Currently I am working on the ERC funded project 'COSTPOST' led by Professor Mikko Myrskylä. The project aims to investigate the consequences of fertility postponement on a range of outcomes for children and their parents. I obtained a Ph.D. in Demography/Population Studies at the LSE. My Ph.D. work aims at investigating the association between childbearing postponement and child well-being, with a particular focus on how this link varies across subgroups of the population in the U.K. I also have long-standing interests in analysing how family processes are associated with different markers of child well-being.
