Sedan 2025 är jag föreståndare för Idrottshögskolan.

Dessförinnan var jag avdelningschef vid Avdelningen för Idrottsmedicin under tio år samt ställföreträdande prefekt vid Institutionen för Samhällsmedicin och Rehabilitering i tre år.

Jag undervisar i idrottsfysiologi på både grundläggande och avancerad nivå, med särskilt fokus på barn och träning, testmetodik samt muskelfysiologi.

Min forskning är inriktad på träningens effekter på hormonella och metabola variabler hos barn, samt på utveckling och tillämpning av fysiologiska tester för att förutsäga prestation hos elitidrottare.

Jag disputerade i december 2012 vid Atens universitet i Grekland, inom området molekylär idrottsfysiologi.
