Rok Hrzic is a political epidemiologist at the Department of International Health at Maastricht University and an affiliated doctoral student with the International Max Planck Research School on Population, Health and Data Science. His work focuses on the structural determinants of mortality convergence in the enlarged European Union, particularly regarding social and economic policy.
He is a physician by training and holds MSc degrees in Epidemiology and in Governance and Leadership in European Public Health from Maastricht University. He has experience with novel data sources and analysis methods in public health, in particular utilizing hospital information systems and insurance claims datasets in the area of rare diseases, and indicators of population health and health system performance.
During his stay at the BiB, he will be documenting the effects of Europeanisation on regional cause-specific mortality convergence in selected Eastern European countries.
We are very pleased to welcome Rok Hrzic in Wiesbaden and wish him a great time!
