Damiano Uccheddu is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Demographic Research (DEMO), University of Louvain (UCLouvain, Belgium), currently supported by an F.R.S.-FNRS postdoctoral fellowship.
His research investigates how adult children's social and economic resources shape their parents' health outcomes from a longitudinal and comparative life course perspective. He holds a PhD from the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW) and the University of Groningen (the Netherlands), and a Master's degree in Sociology and Social Research from the University of Trento (Italy). His main research interests include social and gender inequalities in health, intergenerational relationships, social determinants of health, welfare systems, and quantitative methods for social research.
As a visiting researcher (22 - 29 September 2025) Damiano will be working with Prof. Valeria Bordone's team on the project "Cognitive Health in Aging Society" (CHIAS), investigating how gendered work-family life courses relate to cognitive health in later life. His contributions focus on longitudinal data analyses to examine intergenerational dynamics and cognitive outcomes across Europe.
