PhD, University of Geneva

I am leading the project The Empty Office, an international study on the effects of teleworking on people’s lives.

I have been working on the integration of social network and life course research co-editing the special issue Networked Lives.

For my research on young people, in 2023 I was nominated for the SAGE Prize for Innovation and Excellence.
