Biography

I am an Associate Professor in Nanotechnology Functional Materials at Uppsala University, where I hold a Senior Lecturer position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. I lead the NanoBiomaterials group within the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials, focusing on the development of nanostructured materials for biomedical applications. My research primarily investigates the interactions between materials and biological systems, emphasizing biocompatibility and nanosafety. I conduct application-oriented studies to evaluate the impact of nanomaterial design, modification, and functionalization on bioactivity and the material response in biological systems. My research also addresses safety aspects of nanomaterials, which are crucial for developing processes that integrate nanomaterials in industry and academia.
