Assistant Professor of Political Science

Tecnologico de Monterrey

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Department of International Relations, Political Science and Economics at Tecnologico de Monterrey. I completed my Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I specialized in political economy and quantitative methods. My research explores the political effects of firm strategies, the interaction between business and politics, and the political consequences of the interactions between global and local labor markets. In my work, I use big datasets, surveys and experiments to explore the relationships between firms, labor markets and politics. My dissertation project explored the role that firms and workplaces have in shaping anti-system politics. It showed that firm-level employment strategies have large effects on perceptions of unfairness and on the development of anti-system political attitudes.

Before joining Tecnologico de Monterrey, I was a Graduate Student Affiliate at Harvard’s Center for European Studies and a Graduate Research Fellow at MIT GOV/LAB. I received my BA in Political Science (with highest honor) from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Buenos Aires, where I also completed the coursework for the Master in Political Science.
