I work as a research advisor at the Grants and Innovation office (GIO). At GIO we are specialised in giving support and advice to researchers applying for external funding. My main focus is researchers from the Faculty of social sciences and School of business and economics.
I have an interdisciplinary research background with a focus on the philosophy of biology and I am an associate professor in systematic biology. Science at the borderline between the humanities, social-, and natural sciences fascinates me and I like writing popular science.
Here you find my page at ResearchGate and here is a link to an article on research funding with the title "Little for many or much for few?" published in Riksbankens Jubileumsfonds most recent yearbook (2015/2016), Thinking ahead - research, funding, and the future.
