About me

I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Human Geography at Stockholm University within the profile on Population Geography, Migration, and GIS.
In my dissertation "The educational trajectory of migrants and its spatial dimension in Sweden" by focusing on migrants' educational attainment, I aim to address their integration from two dimensions; residential and labor market integration, across different temporal and spatial scales. I am specialized in quantitative methodologies and my research is conducted based on the longitudinal Swedish register microdata register data-based.
