Om mig

  • I am Assistant Professor in aging and neuropsychology working in Erika
    Laukka's research group at the Aging Research Center (ARC), Department of
    Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society (NVS), Karolinska Institutet. My
    research interests are focused on mapping trajectories of age-related changes
    in human cognition and olfaction (the sense of smell) to better understand
    their determinants and consequences. Before joining ARC in 2018 as
    postdoctoral researcher, I worked at the Gösta Ekman Laboratory (GEL),
    Psychology Department, Stockholm university. I obtained my PhD investigating
    olfactory function in memory decline, dementia, and mortality, based on data
    from the longitudinal and population-based Betula project. My work at GEL
    also focused on how smell-based games can be used for brain training.
    In parallel with my research activities, I am coordinator of the weekly
    scientific seminar series at ARC and regularly teach classes related to
    cognition, aging, and dementia. Our research group and I accept applications
    for research internships and student theses on a rolling basis. Please send
    me an e-mail if you are interested.
