I work with research in Biomedical Engineering, with focus on cerebrospinal fluid and cerebral blood flow dynamics. I work as a teacher mainly in Biofluid mechanics and Control system theory.
I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Physics and Electronics, where my research is conducted in collaboration with MT-FoU. My work focuses on pressure and flow modeling in the cerebral arteries and the cerebrospinal fluid system, with applications towards various neurological diseases and conditions such as stroke, carotid stenosis, hydrocephalus, glaucoma, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
My research projects include studies of perfusion pressure in cerebral arteries during surgical procedures in which carotid artery function is impaired, as well as in cases of carotid stenosis. I also investigate the fluid dynamic interaction between the brain and the eye, with particular emphasis on the effects of gravity. Furthermore, I am involved in research on the glymphatic system, a proposed waste clearance system of the brain.
I hold a Master of Science in Engineering Physics from Umeå University (2014), with a primary focus on computational physics and measurement techniques. I obtained my PhD in 2019 from the Department of Radiation Sciences at Umeå University (Doctor of Technology in Medical Science – Biomedical Engineering).
My main areas of teaching are Biofluid Mechanics and Control system theory. I also teach fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering (specifically related to ultrasound and clinical neurophysiology for the latter).
