Hello! My name is Ana and I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Einstein Center Population Diversity. My research focuses on inequalities in population health and aging, with a particular interest in health expectancies, cross-national comparisons, and the role that social and institutional factors structure how (dis)advantages can accumulate over the life course.
