ABOUT

Personal Statement
I joined the Department of Public Health and Policy, University of Liverpool since 2017 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. My research focus has been mainly on the impact of social inequality on child health. My recent projects have a particular focus on mental health, and involved the use of longitudinal data, population linkage data and mediation analysis. Before joining UoL, my PhD mainly focused on the drivers of secular trends of timing of puberty and its consequences for non-communicable diseases, using quasi-experimental methods such as Mendelian randomisation and longitudinal data analysis.
