Biography
I am a founding member and Ambassador of the IPUMS International project. I developed partnerships with National Statistical Offices to entrust microdata to the IPUMS International projects. My publications are focused on the questions and concerns of National Statistical offices about what happens to the microdata once they are entrusted to the IPUMS Center for Data Integration at the ISRDI (formerly Minnesota Population Center).
