Survey methods, polls, and data wrangling
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Salamanca (Spain). I research in the field of survey methodology with a special focus on non-probability sampling and how to correct selection and non-response bias. Sometimes I write about polls, public opinion, and elections.
Previously, I worked as a Survey Statistician designing survey samples and weights. I hold a master’s in Survey Methods from the University of Essex.
