Research interests

Health & Well-being Health inequalities, disability and older people Methods Race and decolonial thought

My research is focused on inequalities in the health of older adults. In particular, I am interested in quantitatively modelling social phenomena across the lifecourse that lead to conditions such as frailty and multimorbidity, as well as factors that build resilience to those conditions. I am currently a Research Fellow on a project looking at ageing-in-place, care needs and multimorbidity.
