Om mig
In my background as an osteologist I have performed several different tasks including analyses, documentation of human skeletal remains and investigation and excavating places of execution. During my studies in England in 2016-2017, I studied human anatomy, jurisprudence, DVI (disaster victim identification), crime scene investigation and management, and I used this knowledge in a master thesis on forensic 3D documentation on human bone trauma. As a forensic anthropologist I am also trained in the knowledge of international conflicts and natural disasters dealing with DVI from e.g. earthquakes, aeroplane casualties, mass graves and terrorist offences. I am currently a Ph.D student at Karolinska Institute in Forensic Medicine and I'm also employed at the National Board of Forensic Medicine in Stockholm Sweden.
Forskningsbeskrivning
Age estimation and provenance analysis of human bones
This project aims to develop new methods and improve existing methods to determine the year of birth and geographical origin of unknown deceased.
The main aim of the study is to develop a strategy to estimate the year of birth and age at death of unknown dead human bodies and unknown human skeletal remains to be applied on for example, victims of crime and or mass disasters to simplify the identification work. The result of these studies may also provide some basic information about the turnover rates of biological components in the human skeleton. Still today we have little knowledge on the metabolism and turnover rates of different bones.
