Kort presentation
Jag är postdoktor i epidemiologi med inriktning på fysisk aktivitet. Jag arbetar i Dr. Hannah Brookes forskargrupp som studerar cancer och diabetes, och jag leder mitt eget projekt om fysisk aktivitet och demens.
Jag är också knuten till Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan (GIH), där mitt arbete fokuserar mer på effekterna av fysisk aktivitet eller nutrition på kognition och kortikal hemodynamisk funktion, med hjälp av funktionell nära infraröd spektroskopi (fNIRS).
Biografi

Ongoing Projects
- Trajectories of physical activity in persons with type 2 diabetes and cancer
- Molecular mechanisms of preclinical dementia and the role of physical activity
- Followup care of adult survivors of childhood cancer and future health consequences
Education
- PhD 2018, Medical Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet
- MSc 2012, Public Health Science, Karolinska Institutet
- BPHE 2010, Physical Education and Health, University of Toronto
Teaching
I teach at the bachelor, master, and PhD level in epidemiology, and I am co-course leader for the PhD course in Medical Epidemiology at Uppsala University. I also teach basic biostatistics at the master’s level. I supervise bachelor, master, and PhD students in their research projects.
