About me

I am an X-ray physicist curious about global health problems. I encourage my students, and try myself, to cultivate the 7 scientific virtues ↗

In my PhD thesis ↗ (2022, KTH Royal Institute of Technology) I used experimental & computational approaches to explore unconventional contrast mechanisms for X-ray imaging in a preclinical setting. I then did my postdoc at the Radiological Sciences Laboratory ↗ (2022-2024, Stanford University) funded by a KAW Postdoctoral Scholarship ↗. Here I got interested in the intersections of clinical radiology, global health, and open hardware. Now I am back at KTH ↗ in Stockholm, focusing on democratizing X-ray technologies to adress global health challenges

You can find my CV here and publications on Google Scholar ↗
