I am a DPhil candidate in Sociology at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Christiaan Monden. My research focuses on migrants’ economic integration: how migrants fare in the labour market, and how the rules governing their legal status shape those outcomes. I use quantitative, quasi-experimental methods and linked administrative register data from Iceland.

In addition to Oxford, I am an affiliate member of the International Max Planck Research School for Population, Health, and Data Science, a part of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.

Before my DPhil, I worked at the OECD, where I authored the report Skills and Labour Market Integration of Immigrants and their Children in Iceland, and at the Border Unit of the Icelandic police, where I led risk analysis and vulnerability assessments on border management. I hold a BA in Philosophy from the University of Iceland and a Master in European Affairs from Sciences Po Paris.
