Background
My research focuses on psychiatric epidemiology, with an emphasis on the causal effects of psychiatric diagnoses and treatments in young people on long-term clinical and educational outcomes. Methodologically, I apply causal inference approaches (including instrumental variable analysis) to large-scale healthcare registry data from Wales and Finland, particularly to address unobserved confounding in observational data.
