About me

I' ve been affiliated with Aging Research Center (ARC) at Karolinska
Institutet since 2004. My background is in Sociology, I received my PhD in
Social Work from Stockholm University in 2010, and since 2016 I'm an
Associate Professor of Public Health. I currently work as a Senior Researcher
at ARC.
* University Diploma, General and Comparative Literature, Stockholm
University.
* BSc, Sociology, Stockholm University.
* PhD, Social Work, Stockholm Univeristy.

Research

As a social scientist working in health research, most of my research concern
how the population health is developing over time, and how health problems
are distributed between different groups in the population.
