ABOUT

I am an Associate professor at the Centre for Research on Equality in Education (CREATE) and the Department of Special Needs Education at the University of Oslo. My main research is in the area of social inequality and quantitative methods of causal inference. I am currently working on projects about the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on child development, schools’ role in creating achievement gaps, and the development of quantile regression models. Additionally, I am involved in studies of the consequences of poverty on family processes, recruitment into academic positions, gene-environment interactions, and program evaluations.
