My research focus is analysis/modeling of the pressure and flow dynamics of the brain and related neurological issues. I am also the team leader for education at Biomedical Engineering R&D at NUS.
I am a researcher at Biomedical Engineering R&D (MT-FoU) at the university hospital (CIMT, NUS) within the Umeå Hydrocephalus Research Group. Mainly I work with modeling and analysis of the pressure in the brain (intracranial pressure) and the flow dynamics in the fluid system that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid system). My research areas include developing and validating protocols and analysis methods for lumbar infusion measurements, which are performed at the Neurological Department at Umeå University Hospital. I also do research regarding related imaging methods, e.g. image analysis for identification of changes in brain structure related to disturbances in the cerebrospinal fluid system using neural networks. I also work in research regarding the newly discovered glymphatic system of the brain.
As of 2023, I am responsible for the Swedich National Quality Registry for Hydrocephalus, which is part of Swedish neuroregister. Since September 2023 I am also a part of the board för the international "Hydocephalus Society" (ISHCSF), and I am part of the editoral board for the scientific journal Fluids and Barriers of the CNS.
I have a degree in Engineering Physics from KTH (2008) and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Dept. of Radiation Sciences, UMU (2013).
My main teaching activity is the course "Biomedical Sensors and Analyses". I am also the team leader for education at Biomedical Engineering R&D at the university hospital, where I work with coordinating our education efforts in the field of biomedical engineering.
