Abstract
I hold a Master of Science in physics and I’m currently in the last year of my PhD studies in Aerosol Technology. In my research I do measurements on nanoparticle lung deposition in humans to study particle transport and deposition mechanisms in human lungs. The goal of these measurements is to explore if we can estimate the size of peripheral lung airspaces by measurement of nanoparticle lung deposition. Ultimately, we hypothesize that these measurements can be used for detection of lung disease. I am part of an interdisciplinary research group where my main responsibilities combine data analytics, optimization of calculations to derive parameters from experiments, statistical analysis, and writing. I work together with many other physicists and engineers, as well as medical personnel. As a side project I do measurements and analyses of atmospheric fluorescent bioaerosols with the aim to understand which factors that are crucial for the generation and spread of atmospheric bioaerosols.

I will be finishing my PhD by March 2023 and I will then be available for future opportunities. My main interests are within the combination of aerosol science and data analytics. I enjoy learning new methods and techniques, and to apply statistical analysis. I’m passionate about science communication and I enjoy academic as well as popular science writing a lot. I have no geographical preference for my future position, but I look forward to exploring new places and environments.
