Research Overview

My research addresses central questions in social stratification and social demography, with a particular focus on life course inequality. I also advance computational social science by developing causal inference and machine learning not only as methodological tools but also as conceptual paradigms for how sociology generates knowledge. My work proceeds along three lines:

• Examining how life disruptions act as stratifying forces that reinforce inequalities across the life course, particularly for women;
• Investigating intra-group stratification with a focus on gender and racial inequality;
• Advancing computational and demographic methods to estimate how life course processes contribute to inequality more precisely.
