About Me

I am an epidemiologist with an interest in methodology and causal inference. I joined the Stroke Research Group in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences as a Research Associate in November 2022. Currently, my research focuses on analysing epidemiological, clinical, and genetic data to investigate relationships between vascular risk, stroke, and dementia.

I am also interested in identifying progression patterns using trajectory models and applying artificial intelligence (e.g., machine learning and deep learning).
