I am an Assistant Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. I study whether—and why—democracies prosecute corruption differently than authoritarian regimes, as well as the criminal justice systems of recently transitioned countries. I have also worked on race, gender, and incarceration in Mexico. My work has appeared in journals like World Politics and Crime, Law and Social Change.

I have ample experience teaching empirical methods, and I am particularly excited about teaching research design using observational data. Before joining UPF, I was a Harper-Schmidt fellow at the Society of Fellows (University of Chicago 2017-2020) and an Assistant Professor at UT-San Antonio (2020-2023). I have a BA in Political Science and International Relations from CIDE (Mexico city, 2009) and a Ph.D. in Political Science (University of Chicago, 2017).
