I
am a doctoral student in the Department of Sociology and Population
Research Institute at Penn State University with general interests in
urban sociology, social demography, migration/immigration, and
public policy. In the general sense, my research focuses on the
consequences of major social and demographic transformations over the
past several decades. A considerable portion of my work is directed at advancing scholarship on residential diversity and
attainment in U.S. cities. My dissertation explores the patterns and
determinants of segregation, and neighborhood and housing quality among
America's newest immigrants. Some of my other research examines the
impact of immigration on native residential mobility, the changing
nature of suburban America, and the distribution of immigrant 'skills'
across metropolitan destinations. I am also intensely interested in the
labor market performance of immigrant workers, dealing with issues such
as their differential returns to human capital, the impact of legal
status on work and wages, and immigrants' accessibility to and use of
public assistance programs. Curriculum vitae
