About me
I am a sociologist and researcher at the Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University.
My research focuses on the social determinants of health, specifically how individual and community-level aspects of social inequalities affect health. In an ongoing FORTE-funded project, I explore the impact of socioeconomic inequalities on immigrants' health and mortality.
