I have an undergraduate degree in Physical Geography and Anthropology and a doctoral degree in Hydrology. I am presently a lecturer at the Department of Water and Environmental Studies at Linköping University and senior researcher at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. I am presently engaged in teaching within the areas of hydrology, GIS and water resource management and am Program Coordinator of the Master’s Program, Water Resources and Livelihood Security. My main research area is river basin hydrology in developing countries where I am interested in combining different sources of knowledge (e.g. from hydrological models and local inhabitants) to gain a more holistic view of hydrological issues. A current interest is narrowing the gap between scientists and laypeople by using decision-support tools such as hydrological modeling and GIS in a participatory manner in order to increase ownership, relevance and applicability of produced results to attain sustainable solutions.
