Personal profile

Short presentation

I am currently employed at the Center of Excellence in Early Intervention and Family Studies (CIF) within the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Copenhagen. My research primarily focuses on education and early interventions. Specifically, during my PhD I have explored topics such as student well-being and test performance in relation to school characteristics like class size and peer composition. Additionally, I investigated gender differences in teachers’ grading behavior. In my current research I will be studying early childhood mental health and its association with infant withdrawal.
