About me

I am a researcher and lecturer interested in the spatial and temporal dynamics of antisocial behavior, crime perceptions, and public opinion. Using computational social science methods and research synthesis techniques, I analyze how crime and social attitudes evolve across contexts while promoting Open Science practices to enhance transparency and reproducibility.

In my teaching, I provide students with methodological tools to study crime patterns, research synthesis methods, and criminological theory. I emphasize the use of R for data analysis and advocate for Open Science values to foster rigorous and collaborative research.
