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

My research explores processes of institutional reform and state modernization, with a particular focus on the judiciary in Ecuador and Latin America. I study how judicial institutions adapt to – or resist – change, how rules governing the judiciary are created and contested, and how legal categories emerge from political struggles. More broadly, I aim to develop analytical frameworks for a sociology of the judicial field.

I have published articles in international journals on judicial politics, institutional reform, and the sociology of law, and I am currently working on a book about the judicial protection of rights in Ecuador. Alongside my research, I have taught courses in political science and sociology at both undergraduate and graduate levels, ranging from research methods to comparative politics. I have also led a specialization in data analysis, coordinated research programs, and served as editor of academic journals.
