About me
I am a professor in administrative law and the Vice President of Stockholm University. I have been at the faculty since 2018 and before that I was a professor of administrative law at the Faculty of Law, Uppsala University.
Academic background
I defended my thesis God förvaltning i EU och i Sverige [Good administration in the EU and in Sweden] in 2006 at Stockholm University, within European integration law. I was appointed associate professor at Stockholm University in 2009, within Public law. In 2009, I started working at the Department of Law at Uppsala University, initially as a research assistant in European law, then as a senior lecturer in Administrative law. I was promoted to professor in the same subject in 2014. During my time in Uppsala, I was also attached part-time to the Center for Research Ethics & Bioethics. In 2018, I was recruited as a professor of Administrative law at Stockholm University.

Outreach
I regularly teach at Public Authorities.
I teach administrative law and to some extent EU law, at a basic and advanced level.
My research focuses on what globalization in general and Europeanisation in particular mean for the administration, its role within the state and in relation to the EU and other organizations. Issues of interest concern how networks of authorities acting beyond the state are governed and controlled, how administrative law ideals of efficient, transparent and legally secure decision-making processes are achieved beyond the nation state and how protection of personal data can be guaranteed. During the period 2011 - 2018, I was involved in various EU projects (FP7 and Horizon 2020) linked to medical research and biobanks, BBMRI, BiobankCloud and BiobankBridgeAfrica. In the latter, I was work package leader for the WP ethics and law. I have since participated as a member of Advisory Boards for Horizon 2020 projects.
I am currently participating in two European administrative law projects, "'Common frame of reference' of the pan-European general principles of good administration of the Council of Europe" and "The Principle of Legality and the Intensity of its Binding Force in European Administrative Laws ”. The research is financed via my professorship. I also participate in the comparative project Constitutional Condition of the Welfare State, funded by STINT, where Swedish and South Korean experiences are compared. I regularly participate in the international networks Privacy Law Forum and Administrative Law Discussion Forum
I am associated with the Center for Research Ethics & Bioethics, Uppsala University
