Hello! This is my website, where you can find information about my research, engagement, and teaching. Thanks for visiting.

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government (BSG) and a Senior Member at St Antony’s College at the University of Oxford.

My research centres on people management and performance management in the public sector by using large surveys, survey experiments, large administrative datasets and extensive qualitative fieldwork, and focuses on middle- to low-income countries, and especially on Latin American bureaucracies.

My research projects regularly involve partnerships with governments and international organisations such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). They have translated into numerous policy publications and opinion articles.

I teach applied statistics at BSG and have taught courses on public management, applied statistics, and quantitative research methods at Rutgers University and the University of Chile.

I completed my PhD in Public Administration at the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers University (as Fulbright Fellow) and hold an MA in Management and Public Policy and a BSc in Industrial Engineering from the University of Chile.

Before taking up my current role, I was Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Government at the University of Chile. Previously, I was Research Director of the Centre for Public Systems at the Industrial Engineering Department of University of Chile,  and Assistant Director of the National Center for Public Performance at Rutgers.

My research has been published by Public Administration Review, Oxford Review of Economic Policy, Review of Public Personnel Administration, International Public Management Journal, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the International Labour Organization.
