I believe that foreseeable challenges can be best met with comprehensive interdisciplinary research to allow for better and more long-term policies. This includes insights gained through econometric techniques and data that could be used to identify broader interdependent relations, taking into account insights from psychology, economics, medicine, population studies, epidemiology, and other disciplines such as climate research, political science or genetics. I’m passionate about getting talented people interested in the challenges and opportunities of this type of work; I also really enjoy working with applications and policy development people to understand and try to seek ways of better foreseeing and more effectively developing global capacities for societal challenges.
