About me

  • I finished my PhD at the Department of Public Health, 探花精选 in Sep 2010. I did my postdoc at IMM and is currently Associate Professor in Epidemiology and senior Lecturer at the unit of Epidemiology at IMM. My research group, Ageing and Health, perform research about ageing, longevity and the health of the ageing population. I have worked for many years with the national population registers in Sweden and have an interest in the validity of these. I am a member of the steering group for SINGS (The Swedish INterdisciplinary Graduate School in Register-Based Research) and lecture about epidemiological methods and register based research both at graduate and post graduate level.
    I was appointed guest researcher at Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, Germany between 2016-2019, and I still have a close collaboration with the institute and have a PhD student within the PHDS Academy held by Max Planck Institute for Demography.

Research

  • The overarching objective of my research is to comprehensively elucidate the determinants and consequences of increased longevity and assess the quality of extended lifespan. Our research encompasses methodological inquiries concerning the utilization of Swedish register data for the study of age-related illnesses. Recognizing aging as a multifaceted and cross-cutting concern, my research strategy incorporates close collaboration with clinicians representing diverse specialties, statisticians, and demographers. Our predominant methodology involves extensive quantitative analysis, characterized by longitudinal investigations and trend analyses. However, we also incorporate qualitative studies either to generate hypotheses or to further understand the findings observed from quantitative observational studies.

    I amcurrently main supervisor for PhD students Yuge Zhang /en/people/yuge-zhang and Anna-Kathleen Piereth /en/people/annakathleen-piereth.

Teaching

  • I see teaching and supervision as a natural and important part of being a researcher at a university. Teaching and course directing represents around 30% of my time. I have more than 700 lecture hours in total. In addition to this comes supervision of master students and PhD-students.
    I am currently primarily involved in two educational programs as course director and teacher, the Swedish INterdisciplinary Graduate School in Register-Based Research (SINGS) , and the master program in Public Health Sciences at KI
    In SINGS I am co-director and a member of the steering committee which means that I take a large part in organizing and planning the research school, its courses, and content. I am the course director for three courses within the research school, 鈥淯sing data from Swedish registers for research purposes鈥, 鈥淎nalyses of bias鈥 and 鈥淟ongitudinal methods鈥, each 1.5 higher education credits. The main coordinator for SINGS is Anita Berglund, with whom I collaborate closely with.
    In the master program in Public Health I am course director of a 7.5 credit course in the Master in public health at KI, 鈥淓pidemiological Methods for studying determinants of Health鈥. This involves panning the course and setting up its syllabus and curriculum, co-ordinate the content of the course with the other courses in the program, give lectures, seminars and set up as well as correct the examinations. The course has around 50 international students every year.
    In addition to the above-described teaching activities I regularly lecture about epidemiology, study design, methods, registers and more at several educational programs. I also regularly supervise master students for their theses.
    Subject area competence: Epidemiology and epidemiological methods, Swedish registers and register based research, cohort studies, public health.
