I am a social epidemiologist with an interest in the life course determinants of adult health. My research combines social epidemiology and social policy to help better understand how non-medical policies influence health and disease. My work is multidisciplinary by nature;  I use experimental and quasi-experimental methods to evaluate the long-term health effects of public policies shaping socioeconomic conditions, with a particular focus on education, income, family and housing policies. 

Before joining the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies as a post-doctoral fellow, I worked at King's College London and the London School of Economics, where I obtained my PhD in social policy in 2018. I was awarded the 2017/18 Richard Titmuss prize for best PhD thesis. 

My work to date has been published in leading academic journals such as Social Science & Medicine, Health Affairs and the American Journal of Epidemiology; and has received media coverage from the BBC, Slate and the New Scientist.
