Lluís Mangot-Sala (PhD) is a social epidemiologist specialized in the study of health inequalities and socioeconomic determinants of health. His research lies at the intersection of public health and social sciences, focusing on how employment and housing conditions influence mental health and health behaviours.

He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at ISGlobal, working on the HEAT-Gravitas project, where he examines how housing conditions, tenancy status, and climate adaptation and mitigation policies intersect to impact the health of older tenants.

Lluís is also an affiliated researcher at the Unit of Occupational Medicine at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, where he was a postdoctoral researcher studying the impact of precarious employment conditions on mental health using data from Swedish registers.
