I am an assistant professor in genetic epidemiology of ageing, interested in combining genetic and longitudinal designs to understand complex traits.

My primary research aim is to understand how overweight influences risk of age-related diseases, by studying why different forms of overweight have different effects on the risk of dementia, cardiovascular disease, and type-2 diabetes. I am also interested in understanding how geographic circumstances influence late-life health.
