About me
I am a postdoctoral 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.
