I am interested in social inequality and work. In three ongoing projects, I study various aspects of young people’s occupational trajectories and employers’ assessment thereof. I also do work on health, well-being, and sustainability.
Most of my research involves the collection and statistical analysis of big data sets. In some projects, I employ experimental designs and qualitative methods as well.
Apart from my substantive interests, I currently examine the suitability of statistical models to investigate social inequalities in a range of health outcomes. My other methodological research is on validity in experimental designs and the application of Bayesian statistics in social research and beyond.
Research interests: social inequality, work, health, sustainability, well-being, and research methods.

- An Analysis of Measures Addressing Young People in Challenging Transitions, 2018–2020, (PI).
