About me

I am a PhD student at the Centre for Psychiatric Research in the Department of Clinical Neuroscience.

My PhD project focuses on benzodiazepines and the related Z-drugs (BZDR) use. My research interests include understanding how different risk factors influence the medication usage trajectories, as well as how to best assess the associations of BZDR use and potential adverse health outcomes using appropriate epidemiological designs.
