About me

I am an architect and engineer educated at Luleå University of Technology (LTU), where I also earned a Ph.D. My research focuses on how information and its structures can be reused to make construction and urban development more sustainable and efficient.

I am particularly interested in connecting digitalization with buildings and cities. This involves improving how we manage and communicate information, creating better visualizations, ensuring high quality, automating processes, and streamlining information flows. I also explore how information can be adapted to different types of projects and how we can use it in new ways.

My research is grounded in practical applications. I collaborate with real-world projects and develop prototypes to test ideas in practice. By working closely with society's needs, I can contribute to solutions that are both useful and create positive change. I enjoy working on issues where technology and human needs intersect, and where the results can make a difference in how we work and live.

During my research, I have also contributed to the development of digital tools, such as digital twins for buildings and cities. These are used to simulate, visualize, and understand complex systems. Additionally, I have worked on tools for managing data and information from various sources, such as BIM, GIS, and IoT devices.

Beyond my research, I have been active in educational development and, as a researcher, have been involved in designing courses and educating students. I have covered topics such as programming, modeling (BIM), automation, and the development of VR and digital twins.
