Supervision areas

I supervise research students and postdocs studying healthy ageing in particular cognitive ageing using longitudinal ageing studies from around the world including the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, the US Health and Retirement Study, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

I also supervise research students studying healthy digital dividends particularly how different digital technologies deliver varying benefits to different groups in society and through what mechanisms.

Opportunities

On understanding the challenge of population ageing using large scale data in around the world, including the challenge's scale, shape and timing. Also on healthy digital dividends particularly how different digital technologies deliver varying benefits to different groups in society and through what mechanisms. There is no scholarship on offer at the moment.
