As a research engineer and researcher, I split my time between providing technical support for research projects, teaching, and conducting my own research across various projects
My research focuses on measuring the exchange of greenhouse gases (GHGs) between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and understanding how this exchange is influenced by both natural disturbances (e.g., storms and droughts) and human activities (e.g., forest management and wetland restoration). I conduct direct measurements of GHGs using micrometeorological methods and chambers in various types of forests, wetlands, and agricultural cropping systems across southern Sweden.
