I am a social epidemiologist and PhD candidate at the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science. My main research interest is the development of health inequalities (e.g. by sexual identity, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status) over the lifecourse.

For my PhD project, I focus on the role of social causation and health-related selection mechanisms in the development and maintenance of socioeconomic health inequalities in adolescence and young adulthood.
