About
I'm an epidemiologist at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, where I work in the Department of Clinical Neuroscience. I hold a Ph.D. in Health Policy & Management from UCLA, an M.P.P. from USC, and a B.A. from UC Berkeley.
Research Areas
My current work focuses on multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, narcolepsy, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease, using Swedish national patient registries and population databases.
Previously, I spent five years as a statistician in the Division of Nephrology at UCSF, studying pediatric and adult chronic kidney disease, kidney transplantation, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and vascular access surgery. I also consult on studies in fertility medicine, pediatric diabetes, oncology, obstetrics, and infectious disease.
Methods & Data
My methodological interests center on causal inference from observational data—particularly target trial emulation, marginal structural models, and g-computation. I work primarily with large administrative and registry datasets, including national medical claims, electronic health records, organ transplant registries, and randomized trial data.
I have experience with health data systems in the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. I also develop and maintain a suite of open-source Stata packages for data management, causal inference, and publication-ready reporting.
