Expertise
Dawid Gondek’s interests are in population mental health and wellbeing from the life course perspective. His research focuses on better understanding generational and life course trends of mental health, their determinants and consequences. His main focus is on how early life exposures affect mental health later in the life course. Dawid’s expertise is in analysing large population-based longitudinal datasets, such as birth cohorts or household panels, using advanced statistical methods. Currently, Dawid works on the CovidGen project that examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on wellbeing of young people.
