Research Advisor @ Grants and Innovation Office
Supporting researchers and Mid Sweden University's research centers in identifying funding sources and applying. Providing strategy and career advice
Background
Before joining the Grants and Innovation Office at Mid Sweden University in September 2024, I worked as a researcher in theoretical particle physics. My main research interest was to find new approaches to understand the mysteries of our universe, such as the nature of "dark matter", a mysterious substance that makes up more than 80% of the matter in our universe. I received my Ph.D. from Stockholm University in 2019, after which I was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University (USA) and a junior group leader at RWTH Aachen University (Germany). I have participated in and led a number of international research projects, organized international conferences and workshops, and led the formation of an emerging highly interdisciplinary research field from its conception in theoretical work during my Ph.D. research to a program involving research groups at research institutions in North America, Europe, and Japan (see, e.g., this whitepaper).
