Auriba is a Research Fellow at the School of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow, a position she has held since October 2025. She is also a researcher in the division of Psychobiology and epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute, Stockholm University, where she has worked since 2019. She holds a PhD in Environmental Epidemiology from Karolinska Institutet (2018), Sweden, and completed her postdoctoral training between 2018 and 2021 at the Stress Research Institute, Stockholm University, and the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet. Prior to that, she worked at Stockholm County Council (formerly Stockholm Läns Landsting, now Region Stockholm) as a researcher focusing on air pollution and public health.

Auriba's research lies at the intersection of environmental epidemiology, occupational health, and behavioural science. She investigates how variations in weather and climate influence mental health and health-related behaviours, with a particular focus on Swedish and Finnish working populations. Her work also explores how environmental and social characteristics surrounding the home and workplace, such as neighbourhood conditions, commuting distance, and access to services, affect behaviour-related outcomes such as physical activity, sedentary behavior, alcohol use, BMI, and sleep.

Auriba has extensive experience in analysing large-scale register-based and longitudinal cohort data, applying advanced epidemiological and statistical methods to understand how environmental and occupational exposures shape population health over time. Her ongoing projects include Warmer and Darker Climate: Effects on Mental Health and Health Behaviour (CLIMENT), which investigates how changes in winter temperature, daylight, and precipitation patterns affect mental health in the Nordic region. Her research contributes to the growing body of evidence on how climate change and environmental exposures impact health and wellbeing, supporting public health policy and occupational health strategies.

Her prior research focused on environmental determinants of population health, with a particular emphasis on the effects of ambient air pollution on cardiovascular outcomes and cause-specific morbidity and mortality. Drawing on large-scale cohort data and exposure assessment methods, she investigated short-term associations between temeprature, air pollutant fluctuations and adverse health events, as well as their contribution to health inequalities and chronic disease burden. This work forms the empirical and methodological foundation for her current research on broader environmental and climatic influences on mental health and wellbeing.
