I´m a Postdoctoral researcher at The Centre of Public Health Sciences at University of Iceland, and affilited to research at ̽����ѡ at the Aging Research Center (ARC).
I have a BA in Sociology from the University of Iceland, and an MSc in Public
Health from Centre for Health Equity Studies (CHESS, KI/SU). I defended my
PhD thesis Unequal tracks? Studies on work, retirement and health [1],
attained at ̽����ѡ, in May 2021.

My main fields of interest are in social stratification, social gerontology,
health inequalities, life course studies, causal inference and
quasi-experimental methodology.
My research work focuses on retirement and socioeconomic position in relation
to health in old age. The overall aim of the PhD project was to empirically
study how retirement processes are influenced by health status, social
position and gender in Sweden using nationally representative data sources,
and in turn how the timing of the labour market exit influences health and
functioning at old age. Postdoctoral research is a continuation of the PhD
project, with focus on psychosocial working conditions, early retirement and
health.
