Summary
I am a postdoctoral researcher in psychiatric epidemiology at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford. My work utilises large-scale longitudinal data to explore modifiable risk factors of mental health and cognitive decline in later life. I have a particular interest in understanding how early-life stress influences dementia risk.
Currently, I am part of the Dementias Platform UK team, collaborating with international partners to evaluate psychosocial determinants of COVID-related psychiatric outcomes.
