I am interested in the ecology of plant pathogenic fungi, especially how they influence our food production and how they interact with other organisms in their environment. Better knowledge on these interactions is important in the development of sustainable crop production systems.
Presentation
My research is within the field of plant pathology and sustainable crop protection. This is closely connected to work I do in environmental monitoring of soil organisms and soil health. Teaching is also an important part of my work, especially in courses for agronomy students. I am course leader for Crop production – weeds, pests and diseases, and assistant director of studies for the Agriculture Programme - Soil and Plant Sciences (5-year programme), the Bachelor programme on Plant production and the Master programme Soil, Water and Environment. I am also supervising Bachelor and Master thesis students within the subject plant pathology.
Many of the research questions I work with are of an interdisciplinary nature, making collaborations with scientists from other areas crucial for my work. A close collaboration with stakeholders outside of research is also a central part in my research.

Highlights from previous projects
- EcoStack (2018-2024) developed ecologically, economically and socially sustainable crop production via stacking of biodiversity service providers and bio-inspired tools, using transdisciplinary research methods and active participation of multi-actor groups across Europe. The project was a Research and Innovation Action, under the EU Horizon 2020 programme, and included 24 partners with complementary expertise, covering all major pedoclimatic production zones and major agricultural production systems in Europe.

- What does different actors mean by sustainable crop protection, and how can we find useful indicators of sustainability? This was explored in two assignments by the Swedish Crop Protection Council. The results are presented here (in Swedish, summary in English):
