Stefan Sieber is a social and life course epidemiologist with a strong interest in health inequalities.
As part of his previous research experience, Stefan has developed expertise in the analysis of longitudinal data to investigate the long-term effects of childhood socioeconomic conditions on health in old age. He also investigates cross-national variations in these effects across European countries, taking into account the role of welfare policies.
Stefan successfully completed his PhD at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 2021, and further enhanced his expertise through a postdoctoral position at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
At ISGlobal, Stefan is part of the CATALYSE project (Climate Action to Advance Healthy Societies in Europe), where he is responsible for assessing the impact of air pollution on different health outcomes under a range of decarbonisation scenarios, with a particular interest in vulnerable populations. The aim of the project is to capture the health co-benefits stemming resulting from climate change mitigation.
