Biography
Beatriz is a research fellow in quantitative data/statistics as part of the Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice (CYPEP) at Monash University. Her focus is on the study of disadvantage in young people, and how to measure and model it to acknowledge that this is a problem with multiple dimensions and levels.
Her research uses large administrative and survey data and statistical analysis techniques such as multilevel modelling to find evidence about inequality between groups, and the potential implications for equity. Beatriz is interested in the study of both existent inequalities and their implications for policy and practice, and the application of measuring and modelling techniques to understanding them.
