About me

I have been a licensed physiotherapist since 2016 and have gained clinical experience from working in both inpatient and outpatient care at Sunderby Hospital. My primary focus has been on cardiac rehabilitation, but I have also worked in surgery, orthopedics, and neurorehabilitation. Since the spring of 2024, I have been a doctoral student at 80% in the research school PRECISE and work 20% in clinical practice at the Physiotherapy Unit at Sunderby Hospital.

STAR-VR

My doctoral project focuses on how we can use Virtual Reality (VR) to test and train sensorimotor movement functions in individuals with the rheumatic disease axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). STAR-VR is an interdisciplinary project between physiotherapy, medical science, and machine learning at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in collaboration with Sunderby Hospital (Region Norrbotten) and the medical technology company Curest AB.
