About me

My research focuses on bioeconomy solutions centered on forest-based materials, exploring the sustainability conflicts and synergies within this field.

With a background in polymer science, I defended my PhD thesis 'Thermodynamic Toolkit for Chemical Recycling to Monomer' at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2023. After years of studying circularity on a molecular level, I began to study circularity more holistically as postdoc within Stockholm University Center for Circular and Sustainable Systems (SUCCeSS).

Since September 2025, I lead the MISTRA funded project 'Forest-based materials: How to transform the bioeconomy to beat the planetary crisis', an interdisciplinary research project investigating the implications of sufficiency in the bioeconomy context. I also serve on a task group within the WISE program, developing a tool to assess sustainability implications of materials research.

My research bridges sustainability science, regulatory science and materials chemistry with social science methodologies. Through this interdisciplinary approach, my research aims to understand how a forest-based bioeconomy can contribute to sustainable societies.
