Profile

Aasli Abdi Nur is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Demography. She currently works on the Connecting Generations project with Professor Ridhi Kashyap, studying demographic changes and their implications for kinship and intergenerational overlap, care, and support.

Her recent areas of focus include the use of computational and demographic methods to study gender, fertility, and family dynamics across the life course; and to examine epistemic inequalities in the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and their impact on demographic research.

Prior to joining Oxford, Aasli worked as a Research Scientist in the Institute for Disease Modelling at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Washington, where she served as a graduate fellow with the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology.

She holds an MPH from the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University and a BA from Washington University in St. Louis.
