About me

I am a postdoctoral fellow funded by Formas – The Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development.

I completed my MSc and PhD at Umeå University, Sweden, where I evaluated an emerging electro-peroxone process for removing pharmaceuticals and biocides from wastewater, comparing its efficiency to ozonation. After my PhD, I worked at Envix Nord AB, an environmental technology and consulting company, as a Water Treatment Technology Specialist. Later during the job, I joined the Department of Environmental Science as a visiting researcher. In November 2024, I was awarded the Formas Early Career Research Grant for my project, Halo-SERP, with the Department of Environmental Science, Stockholm Univeristy as my home institute and EECE at Washington University in St. Louis as my host institute. In Halo-SERP, I am investigating the occurrence of organohalogen compounds in drinking water and developing a novel electrochemical reduction process for their removal.
