Migration Health Research Area/Expertise
My research focus has always been on identifying health inequalities and understanding their causes, especially those emerging from differences in socioeconomic background, ethnicity and migration status. In my past position, I worked for five years as a policy and research officer at a UK charity called NAZ dedicated to better understand the causes and consequences of ethnic disparities in sexual health outcomes and in developing interventions for better sexual health among ethnic minorities. Currently, I am in the first year of my PhD studies at the University of Luxembourg, undertaking research into the determinants of migrant access to health care services in Luxembourg.
