Biography and Interests
Michael obtained a B.Sc. in Psychology and then an M.A. in Social Research at the University of Leeds. He joined the Unit in July 2006 to work on the longitudinal Twenty-07 Study where the focus of his work has been on social inequalities in health, especially mental health, across the life course. In 2011 Michael began a CSO funded doctoral fellowship looking at the influence of socioeconomic factors in how problems with smoking, drinking and mental health develop over the life course.
