I am a medical doctor, and I have a Master's in Public Health Epidemiology from Karolinska Institutet.

My master's thesis studied mortality and biochemical recurrence after curatively-treated localized prostate cancer under the supervision of Markus Aly and Alessio Crippa. My interest areas are clinical epidemiology, urological epidemiology, decolonizing global health, tobacco control and learning about advanced statistical methods.
