Research

  • I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in statistical genetics and precision psychiatry at Aarhus University, where my research focuses on why individuals with neuropsychiatric conditions like ADHD and autism face an elevated risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Parkinson's as they age.

    My background is in pregnancy drug safety, statistics, and causal inference. My doctoral thesis explored the benefits and risks of antiseizure medication use during pregnancy, utilizing registry-based pharmacoepidemiological surveillance and causal modeling.

    Additionally, I contribute to studies on preschool health, cardiovascular epidemiology, and the advancement of causal inference methods.
