I have given, selected lectures at courses in Ecology, Aquatic Ecology and Fisheries ecology at the department of Systems ecology (now DEEP) as well as in System dynamics modeling and Problem solving at the department of Environmental Science, Stockholm University.
I am currently working within the "Great lakes" subdivision at the Freshwater laboratory, SLU-Aqua, Drottninholm. I am mainly responsible for the stock assessment of pikeperch in lakes Vänern, Mälaren and Hälmaren. I also work with stable isotopes to delineate food-web interactions in these aquatic systems and hydroacoustic monitoring for pelagic fish species and large zooplankton.
On a national level, I am currently involved in projects with colleagues at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, SLU, Department of Environmental Science, Stockholm University.
I have a background in marine ecology, having worked with pealgic food-web interactions focusing on macroinvertebrates (Mysids) in the Baltic Sea. After my PhD i switched to ecotoxicology and spent several years, first as a post-doc and later as a researcher at the Dept. of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry, Stockholm University. During this time I studied the effects of microplastic pollution working mainly with invertebrate models. Simultaneously, I divided my time as a researcher with environmental consulting where I was involved in different types of projects mainly coupled to habitat mapping, species distributions, biodiveristy research and habitat quality from a management and conservation persepctive.
I have supervised multiple MSc and BSc students in ecology and ecotoxicology and co-supervised three different PhD students (two at Stockholm University and one at SLU).
