Agata joined the Department of Health Economics in July 2014 after completing her bachelor and master degree in Public Health with a specialization in Economics and Management in Healthcare System at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow in 2013. Her master thesis concerned measuring the quality of long-term care. Prior to joining the Department, she boosted her international experience during an Erasmus exchange program in Maastricht, deepened her knowledge on international healthcare systems and developed passion for an academic work.
She obtained a doctoral degree at the Medical University of Vienna in the field of Public Health/Health Economics. In her doctoral thesis she explored cost and quality of life impacts of mental disorders in Austria with an aim to provide supporting information for future resource allocation decisions and evaluation of mental health services. Her current research interest lies in mental health economics and outcome assessment in economic evaluations and health services research as well as multidisciplinary research.
