Summary

Seniorš
Top SchoolDiego Gutierrez is a demographer and social scientist with 10 years of experience leading empirical and computational research on kinship, bereavement, and caregiving at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. He combines mathematical modelling, microsimulation and hands-on data analysis to reveal how population change reshapes family structures and intergenerational dependencies. A PhD from LSE, he has bridged fieldwork in Guatemala and policy-facing analysis (UNHCR, Population Council) with advanced digital demography methods. As Head of the Kinship Inequalities Research Group he translates complex demographic dynamics into actionable insights for researchers and policymakers, often drawing on qualitative foundations and bespoke simulation tools. An unusual thread through his career is pairing deep community-engaged research (including indigenous language projects) with rigorous computational approaches.
