Important future issues for the faculty and how I can contribute

The climate crisis in a time of crises: Our faculty needs to become even more clear and focused on how to meet and mitigate the climate crisis; to secure a sustainable food supply and to implement a green transition in other ways.

Plans for new engineering education: I will focus on quality, research links, and attractiveness to both students and employers in education planning.

Personal reflections

My long experience in research, postgraduate and undergraduate education at SLU and other universities, as well as international collaborations, make me well prepared for the challenges that await the faculty board. My attitude to the work in the faculty committee will be analytical, factual, listening and questioning.
