Dr Andreas Hoehn

  • Research Fellow (Public Health)

Biography

Current Role

I joined the University of Glasgow in June 2022. Since August 2025, I have been working as a Research Fellow across several large-scale interdisciplinary teams, including Policy Modelling for Health (UKRI-MRC), Equalise (UKRI-ESRC), or OPTIMA (NIHR). 

In this role, I am currently leading the development of novel full-scale synthetic population and simulation model infrastructure to support policy-driven public health research. In parallel, I am establishing my own independent research agenda. This agenda primarily focuses on; (i) identifying the causes of widening health inequalities among high-income countries; and (ii) exploring ways to mitigate the challenges posed by population ageing to the sustainability of our social security systems and workforces.

As a trained demographer, I have extensive experience modelling and analysing core population processes at both national and small-area levels. Here, I have developed a strong understanding of how to harness large-scale data in combination with advanced quantitative methods, including life table and decomposition approaches, Markov-chain multistate models, as well as generalised linear and additive mixed models.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led collaborative projects that bridge academic research with third-sector organisations, policy stakeholders, and international collaborators. Further to this, I have delivered data science and open science workshops for a variety of audiences.

Previous Positions 

I hold a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Southern Denmark (Odense, DK), and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (Rostock, GER). Prior to joining the University of Glasgow, I was a member of the Diabetes Medical Informatics and Epidemiology Research Group (University of Edinburgh, UK) and the ERC-funded Research Group MigrantLife (University of St. Andrews, UK). I currently hold a Research Affiliate position at the SUDA Demography Unit (Stockholm, SWE).

Research interests

  • Modelling demographic processes: mortality/health, fertility, migration
  • Health and mortality inequalities
  • Inequalities in working life trajectories 
  • Creating and validating full-scale synthetic population datasets
  • Simulation models 
  • Reproducible research and open science pipelines
