Biography

I am based at the University of Edinburgh where I work as a Lecturer in Health Futures at the Edinburgh Futures Institute and School of Health in Social Science. I am also an Affiliate at the Institute of Health and Wellbeing where I had previously worked as a Research Fellow for the Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory. In the past, I had worked for Autism Network Scotland at the University of Strathclyde, conducting research in collaboration with the Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities. I currently collaborate with the SEARCH Center at the University of California, Riverside.

In my research, I investigate population demographics, health needs and determinants of health for people with autism and/or intellectual disabilities, using big data and data linkage methodologies. My work draws on various fields, such as public health, epidemiology, developmental and clinical psychology, which means that I often seek to cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries between health and social sciences and quantitative and qualitative research.

 

Below is a video describing a recent research project investigating health conditions in adults with autism.

 

Research interests

My academic interests evolve around multidimensional and interdisciplinary reflections on quality of life for people with autism and/or intellectual disabilities. I am particularly interested in researching patterns of vulnerability in these populations, including investigation of:

  • health needs and health inequalities;
  • mental health;
  • comorbidities;
  • mortality;
  • life course transitions;
  • self-harm and suicide risk;
  • substance abuse;
  • homelessness;
  • risk behaviours.
