I am a a PhD candidate at the University of St Andrews and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. I am also an affiliated student with the International Max Planck Research School for Population, Health and Data Science (IMPRS-PHDS). My background is in public health and epidemiology, and I have previously worked on diabetes comorbidities in low- and middle-income countries, and with various statistical and epidemiological methods related to case-control studies and extensions to case-control designs and analyses (textbook forthcoming).
My PhD focuses on inequalities in multimorbidity worldwide and consists of four parts:
- Multimorbid life expectancy across race, socioeconomic status, and gender in South Africa (Manuscript submitted, see working paper)
- Inequalities in disability-free and disabling multimorbid life expectancy in Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States (Manuscript submitted)
- Changes in multimorbidity incidence and prevalence across birth cohorts in South Korea (In-progress)
- Longitudinal analysis of how transitions into multimorbidity, and multimorbidity prevalence, have changed over time across various middle-income countries (Planned for 2023/2024)
