About me

  • I am an affiliated researcher at CAUSALab focusing on pharmacoepidemiology 


  • and causal inference. My overarching goal is to develop methods for
    leveraging observational data to conduct timely research improving public
    health.
    In my position at CAUSALab KI, I collaborate with Swedish registry holders
    and clinical trialists to develop and apply methods needed to extend
    inference from clinical trials to larger populations.
    PhD in Epidemiology – University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
    2016-2019 My doctoral thesis used linked electronic medical records (EMR) and
    insurance claims data to examine opioid prescribing for post-surgical pain
    and the risk of prolonged postoperative opioid use.
