What I study & why it matters
I am a social policy researcher with expertise in how employment, health, and welfare policies and service systems influence health and employment trajectories. I use population-register data for causal inference and qualitative methods to study the implementation and governance policies and interventions.
One evidence approach—applied across four connected policy fields: social policy; work and mental health; occupational health; and vocational rehabilitation, including IPS. I focus on activation policy and service systems at the intersection of employment, mental health, and work ability. While the policy fields differ, the core questions are consistent: what drives change, what works in real-world policy mixes, and how implementation and governance shape outcomes.
I partner with decision-makers, researchers, and service organizations to turn evidence into practical decisions, implementation, and learning. I work in complex policy and service systems where results depend on what causes change, how policies interact, and how well systems are governed.
