I studied Actuarial Sciences (UNAM, Mexico) and Population and Development (FLACSO, Mexico). Since then I have been working on issues related to aging, quality of life and health in cities.
"Thanks to ts multidisciplinary approach, the PhD in Population Sciences at ULisboa has allowed us to explore our research topics in greater depth but also from different perspectives. The classes and mentoring with different professors have been extraordinary."

Coming form a background in Statistics and Information Management &
Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management (NOVAIMS), and
Visual Communication of Information (ISCTE), I am now interested in using data science and data visualization to study climate change, sustainability and population dynamics
"The PhD program has gathered an amazing group of academic experts in subjects that are deeply intertwined with Population Sciences. From Climate Change, to Economics, Migration and Public Policy. It has been an unique opportunity to learn with all the professors specially to broaden our horizons and perspectives. The interdisciplinary approach to Population Sciences is key to study Population Dynamics in an evidence-based manner."

I've had the privilege of being mentored by venerable faculty members. Their guidance and support have been invaluable throughout my academic and research journey."
