About me
- I am a perinatal social epidemiologist with a multidisciplinary background. I
am motivated to build scientific evidence to inform social and clinical
policies that reduce health inequalities. My expertise lies at the
intersection of social and medical science. I am specialized in data science,
statistical methods, and epidemiological designs. My research focuses on
maternal, children, and adolescent health of populations who experience
disadvantages, e.g. refugees, asylum-seekers, or people with disabilities. I
am also interested in understanding how interpersonal factors affect health,
particularly inter-generational transmission of health, e.g. how fathers or
grandparents affect their offspring.

Research
- I am working on the project "A life course perspective on bereavement in
childhood and health problems in adulthood [1]" to examine how early life
adverse experience of losing a parent or sibling influences reproductive
health in adulthood.
I am involved in the research programme "Reproduction of inequality through
linked lives (RELINK) [2]" and the research project "Drivers of inequalities
among families involved with child welfare services [3]" at the Department of
Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University. I am also a member of The
reproductive, perinatal and pediatric epidemiology research group [4] at the
Clinical Epidemiology Division (KEP), Department of Medicine, Solna,
Karolinska Institutet.
