Sergey Timonin

I am a demographer currently based at the ANU School of Demography. Prior to joining the Australian National University, I worked mainly at the major universities in Moscow (Russia), and was a guest researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany.

My main research interests are mortality and population health. I have worked extensively on understanding geographical and socioeconomic inequalities in life expectancy in Eastern Europe, high-income countries and now Australia; examining the contribution of causes of death to changes and differences in longevity; and estimating mortality associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and non-optimal weather conditions.
