About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet. I am an environmental scientist and public health specialist by training, and did my PhD in environmental epidemiology at ISGlobal and IDIAP Jordi Gol in Spain. During my PhD I focused on the effects of the urban environment, especially ambient air pollution, on the development of childhood obesity. Nowadays, my main research primarily focuses on the effects of heat and air pollution on various health outcomes, with a particular emphasis on maternal and newborn health. I have a deep interest in the intersections of climate change and health, and using the exposome approach to explore how multiple environmental factors influence human health. I have also further interest in urban health and environmental justice, with a commitment to addressing health inequalities across Europe and globally
Research
I am currently the PI of the Improvement in CARDIOvascular health by reducing exposure to Air Pollution and NOIse (CARDIO-APNOI) Project, funded by FORMAS and Ulla Hamberg Angeby and Lennart Angeby Foundation. The projects aim to:
* To evaluate the complex mixture of air pollution and noise on adverse cardiovascular events in Scandinavian countries.
* To evaluate how changes in air pollution and noise levels related to residential relocation influence the development of adverse cardiovascular events in multiple Scandinavian countries.
* To systematically evaluate, in multiple adult and administrative cohorts across Europe, the association between air pollution and noise with adverse cardiovascular events and to assess which aspects of the urban exposome have the greatest impact on this association.Supervision:
