Academic Achievements
  • Specific academic achievements not provided.
Research Experience
  • Worked with Miguel Hernán, Jamie Robins, and other excellent researchers at Harvard School of Public Health as a Kolokotrones Research Fellow and Fulbright Research Scholar. Also had the pleasure of being a part-time postdoctoral researcher under supervision of Kjetil Røysland and Odd Aalen at the University of Oslo. Before becoming a full-time academic, had a short career as a resident doctor in internal medicine.
Education
  • Received MD, Dr.Philos in Neuroscience, and BSc in Mathematics from the University of Oslo; Msc in Statistics from the University of Oxford.
Background
  • MD and associate professor at the Institute of Mathematics, EPFL, where I hold the Chair of Biostatistics (since 2020) and serve as director of the doctoral program in mathematics (since 2025). I develop causal and statistical methodology with two main goals: make the target of inference scientifically meaningful, and keep assumptions transparent and testable. I am particularly interested in settings where exposures and outcomes evolve over time (longitudinal and time-to-event data). Many of my works are inspired by applications in clinical medicine and epidemiology.
Miscellany
  • Regularly have openings for postdocs with expertise in statistics and causal inference. If interested, don’t hesitate to contact me by email.
