Her background is within engineering mathematics, specializing in biological- and medical modelling but the past 7 years, her research has been focused on MRI-based body composition and utilization of large datasets for individual-centric disease predictions within metabolic and wasting disorders. She has engaged in studies on body composition in populations ranging from general population, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to chronic kidney disease, psoriasis arthritis and achondroplasia.
