My research focuses on the challenges associated with causal inference using observational data. I am particularly interested in causal discovery and how it can be made more applicable within life course studies and epidemiology more broadly.

Other topics I have an interest in include: Sibling comparison designs, supervised machine learning, missing information, register data. 

I also work with R development and have implemented several R packages (dataReporter, PCADSC, causalDisco, geeasy).
