Biography
I am an epidemiologist with a keen interest in methodology and causal inference. I have been working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Stroke Research Group, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge since November 2022. My research focuses on analyzing epidemiological, clinical, and genetic data to investigate causal pathways and therapeutic targets for cerebral small vessel Disease (cSVD), lacunar stroke, and dementia.
