About me

I am associate senior lecturer and a researcher in human work science at Luleå University of Technology. My work centers on work environment, sustainability, and the social dimensions of technological change. My research often focuses on how industries, particularly those in heavy sectors like mining, can enhance their work environments. I have a strong interest in the social impacts of emerging technologies, where I have an interdisciplinary approach that integrates insights from industrial engineering, sociology, and technology studies.

In addition to research, I teaches courses on organizational development, work environment analysis, and production system design. With my teaching, I hope to help students and professionals understand the complexities of creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable workplaces. I also supervises PhD and Master’s students.
