Hi! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Artifical Intelligence in Public Health Research of the Robert Koch Institute. Being part of the Climate and Societal Analysis , I am combining my interest in causal inference with machine learning and AI. I will continue my work on mental health and health inequalities with a focus on the consequences of climate change.
I hold a PhD in Public Health from the Erasmus University Rotterdam. My PhD research was conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, in affilitation with the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam. The topic of my dissertation was to explore mechanisms underlying subgroup variation in mental health through the use of the counterfactual outcomes framework and genetically informed designs.
