Education and Training.

1996 Master of Social Science (M.SSc.) with a major in human geography, Umeå University.

1997 Statistics A, Umeå University.

2004 Ph.D., human geography, Umeå University.


Past Employment.

Between Autumn 1997 and Summer 2003, I held a Doctoral Fellowship at the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Umeå University. My main duty consisted of working in the project "Telemedicine in urban and rural areas," which resulted in my Ph.D. thesis, titled Spatial Diffusion of Telemedicine in Sweden.

During my time at the department I also did some teaching, primarily on the department's GIS courses.

I have also functioned as Internal Evaluator in the Swedish part of the project Telematic Services for the Elderly (TSE), which focused on coordinated care planning for elderly patients using videoconferencing. The project was carried out by the municipality of Vännäs, the county council of Västerbotten, and Center for Information Technology in Northern Sweden (CINS).

 

Current Employment.

Since August 2003, I am employed as a researcher at SMC in Kiruna. I also have some teaching duties at the geography department in Umeå.

 

Projects.

I'm currently working in a project that uses microsimulation to study the socio-economic effects of establishing a nuclear waste repository in Sweden.

Previously, I assisted in the development of a microsimulation model (LISA) focused on income and labor market analysis, and participated in a study using this model to investigate the interrelationships between different kinds of income.
