About me

Welcome! I am a Research Associate in the cross-departmental Research Programme ‘Health and Health Systems’ at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) and a Horizon 2020 Widening Fellow. I specialize in Health Economics. I earned my Phd from the Universit of East Anglia and my M.A. in International Economics from the University of Göttingen.

My research focuses on the relationship between health, in particular diabetes and other chronic diseases, and economic outcomes and health behaviours. I mainly use econometric techniques to establish causal relationships when using observational data. I also have experience in field research. I work and have worked on projects in high-income countries—in particular Germany and Luxembourg—as well as low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico, China and Indonesia. I have published in Social Science and Medicine, PharmacoEconomics, Economics and Human Biology and Trials, among other outlets. I am also a collaborating member of the GHP Project on Access to Care for Cardiometabolic Diseases (HPACC).

I recently won a Horizon2020 Widening Fellowship to explore heterogeneities in health behaviour change after a diabetes diagnosis, using econometric and causal machine learning methods.
