Biography

I am one of the Directors of studies at the department and I teach on some of our courses. For example: Aerosols/Aerosoler (KEM720) Analytical chemistry 1/Analytisk kemi 1 (KEM070) Energy and environment/Energi och miljö (ES2417) Environmental chemistry/Miljökemi (KEM490)

Research Interest

In my research I connect environmental science and chemistry, with special focus on trace elements in the outer environment. Most of the projects are centered on application of the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis technique. This is a nondestructive, multi-elemental technique were elements can be detected down to picogram levels. Applications are mainly dealing with field measurement studies of the air quality in several parts of the world. The research has been financed by Swedish international development agency (Sida) and the research council (VR) for studies in Kenya and Egypt.
