My scientific background is in Ecology and Environmental Analytical Chemistry. In 1990 I defended my PhD thesis at Lund University, Sweden, in the field of Chemical Ecology.

In 1997, I was promoted to Associate Professor in Environmental Assessment.

In the years 1999 to 2000, I served in the Swedish Government Commission on the Implementation of a New Chemicals Policy.
