About

My name is Ana and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Einstein Center Population Diversity and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I received my PhD from the University of St Andrews and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, where my thesis focused on understanding macro- and micro-level inequalities in multimorbid life expectancy and disease accumulation across several countries (South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, South Korea, and the United States).

My current research examines health and economic inequalities in older age, with an emphasis on the roles of wealth and family diversity. Additional research interests include comparative analyses of population health and ageing, health expectancies, and older age labour force participation.
