I am a political scientist and sociologist with a PhD in Political Science from the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, and a member of the Centre européen de sociologie et de science politique (CESSP) in Paris. I have broad experience teaching and conducting research at universities across Ecuador and France.

My work explores how states change and adapt – especially through processes of institutional reform, modernization, and the implementation of emerging technologies. I am particularly interested in governance, institutional regulation and accountability systems in Ecuador and Latin America. I focus specially on how policy is shaped, implemented and contested, and how legal categories emerge from broader social and political struggles. 

I have published research in international journals on judicial politics, institutional reform, and the sociology of law, and I am currently writing a book on the judicial protection of rights in Ecuador. Teaching is also an important part of my work – I have taught courses in political science and sociology at both undergraduate and graduate levels, covering topics from political and social theory to research methods and comparative politics. I have also led programs in data analysis, coordinated research projects, and served as editor for academic journals.
