About me

  • I completed a PhD at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and 
    Biostatistics in November 2024. Using data from the Swedish Twin Registry and US Health Retirement Study, my doctoral thesis examined body mass index and metabolic health factors from midlife to late life, and their 
    potential impact on biological aging.

    Since 2021, I am an affiliate of the National Graduate School on Ageing and
    Health (SWEAH).

    in global health from the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡. I also have a Bachelor’s 
    degree in Science, with a major in Respiratory Therapy from The
