I am Associate Professor (Profesor Titular) of Sociology in the Department of Social Sciences at the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) and member of the Carlos III-Juan March Institute of Social Sciences (IC3JM). I currently hold three administrative positions: Vice-Dean of the B.A. in International Studies at UC3M, Coordinator of the B.A. in Philosophy, Political Science and Economics at UC3M and Coordinator of Funding Calls for the Sociology Area in the Department of Coordination and Evaluation in the Spanish State Research Agency.

My research addresses the relationship between social inequalities, state structures and political conflicts viewed in comparative perspective. It covers three main areas: European integration, gender & politics and social policy.
