Marc Luy is Head of the research group “Health and Longevity” at the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Director of the German-Austrian “Cloister Study”. Previously, he was Junior Professor for Demography and its Applications at the University of Rostock. Before becoming junior professor, he was Doctoral Student and Research Scientist at the University of Rostock, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock and the Federal Institute for Population Research in Wiesbaden, Germany. The main aim of his research is to disentangle the complex causation of healthy ageing through the study of differentials in health, mortality and longevity. Formal demographic aspects connected to the estimation of life expectancy and healthy life years for specific subpopulations represent an additional research interest.
