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.

My PhD thesis, "Growing old with multimorbidity: how our differences shape the years we live with disease" consists of four empirical chapters:

1. Multimorbid life expectancy across race, socio-economic status, and sex in South Africa
2. Inequalities in disability-free and disabling multimorbid life expectancy in Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States
3. Disease accumulation across birth cohorts in South Korea (Under review)
4. Working longer despite poorer health? Inequalities in working and health expectancies at older ages in South Korea (Under review)
