About me

  • I am a PhD student at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and
    Biostatistics, interested in exploring genetic and environmental factors to
    better understand complex phenotypes.
    My doctoral research, and my primary research aim entails going beyond
    studying only body mass index and explore how adiposity influence the risk of
    cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in light of unmeasured confounding
    and potential mediating factors. I am also interested in the life-course
    perspectives in aging and health.
    I have a master's degree in public health science from Stockholm University
    and a bachelor's degree in sports science from The Swedish School of Sport
    and Health Sciences.
