Research areas
My research concerns the contribution of adult children to parental health and wellbeing, a question that lies in the intersection of population health, ageing research, and family demography. I apply a range of quantitative methods on various longitudinal data to help advance our understanding of the role of intergenerational relationships in population ageing.
