Since 2024 I’ve been working as a Population Data Scientist on the NowPop project in Oxford’s Demographic Science Unit, where I model internal displacement in Ukraine using social‑media and mobile‑phone data.
As a doctoral student at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, University of Oxford, I am focusing on high‑resolution population estimates in data‑limited settings, using a combination of satellite imagery, traditional survey data and administrative records. I am studied two environments: population displacement in the Gaza strip, and population evolution in Colombia. I am affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, as part of the Population Health and Data Science (PHDS) doctoral academy.
My experience spans:
- Academia – with WorldPop (University of
Southampton) and the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic
Science (University of Oxford)
- Humanitarian work – with the UN World Food
Programme, World Health Organisation, UN Fund for
Population, UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
- Government – with the Open Data Taskforce (France) and various Stats Offices (Burkina Faso, Mali, Brazil, Colombia).
My work is published in Population, Population, Space and Place, Nature Communications, International Journal of Humanitarian Action and PLOS ONE, and I have presented at conferences including Population Association of America, International Population Conference and the Royal Geographical Society.
I have done some ponctual consulting for the Small Arms Survey program (Graduate Institute, Geneva) to develop automatised data pipelines and dashboards for weapon monitoring in Ukraine.
In my own time, I’ve also helped develop a bike delivery cooperatives network as well as mutually owned housing‑cooperative business plans, gaining experience in finance and collaboration.
