My main research interests are in methods for causal inference and event history analysis. In particular, I’m interested in the analysis of longitudinal data, time-varying treatments and confounding, and various types of survival and time-to-event outcomes, including settings with competing risks and more multi-state outcomes. I also have an interest in the study of infectious diseases, and the added complexities of causal inference in this context.
I have a focus on applications using data from both randomised and observational studies, often involving data from clinical and population-wide registries. I am currently involved in different collaborative projects, such as i) on the effects of pain medications and rehabilitation for patients after traumatic injury with collaborators at the Oslo University Hospital funded by the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, ii) on the effects of rehabilitation and workplace initiatives on long-term sick leave and work-related outcomes, with collaborators at the National Institute of Occupational Health in Norway, funded by the Research Council of Norway, iii) on real-world evidence for the effectiveness and safety of pharmaceuticals with collaborators at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Oslo, funded by the UiO:Life science program, and iv) on estimation of vaccine effects and the effects of other public health interventions with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
