My research interests in population studies center on the development and application of robust statistical methods for demographic estimation, particularly fertility rates, using large-scale census data from IPUMS International. I am keen on exploring the socioeconomic factors influencing population dynamics and the integration of immigrants, with a specific focus on the economic assimilation of South American immigrants in the U.S. Additionally, I am interested in reinforcing the agreements IPUMS International has with Global South countries to obtain and utilize their census and national survey data, enabling accurate, sub-national demographic indicators that inform policy and program development.
