Biografía

My research focuses on international migration and forced migration, with a particular focus on return and decision-making. In recent years, I have also worked on topics related to migrant and refugee integration, particularly with migrant and refugee children.  

I hold a PhD in Political Science from the Autonomous University of Madrid (BA in Sociology from the University of Salamanca and Master of Arts in Social Sciences from the Juan March Institute for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences).  My dissertation, combining long-term ethnographic work and quantitative analysis, focused on the return process of IDPs in Bosnia-Herzegovina after the 1990s conflict, and it was awarded the 2011 Juan Linz award for the best doctoral thesis in political science. 

I have had a coordinating or leading role in various national and international research projects in these fields (TEMPER, MAFE/MESE, IMMERSE, Breaking). I have worked in different capacities with international organizations such as UNHCR, OHCHR, the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) and ILO. And I have been Director of Migraciones international journal.
