I am a researcher in innovation and entrepreneurship and have been active in the field since beginning my PhD studies at Linköping University in 2003. My research experience spans the evaluation of policy initiatives, biomedical engineering innovation, invention-driven innovation, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship in green industries and agriculture.
My work focuses on the intersection of entrepreneurship and innovation, education, and business development. I am particularly interested in how these areas can be integrated to strengthen regional innovation systems and contribute to sustainable societal welfare. I currently conduct research on scale-ups and on how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can achieve growth, both in urban areas and in rural contexts. Alongside my academic role, I also work part-time at LiU Innovation as a member of the innovation team.
Sharing knowledge and creating impact
I am deeply engaged in knowledge dissemination and in creating impact beyond academia. Through my collaboration with ECIU@LiU, I support colleagues who wish to develop experiential and challenge-based learning approaches, contributing to pedagogical development and innovation in higher education. I regularly share my work at scientific and pedagogical conferences and contribute to publications within my field.
I also work closely with practitioners and entrepreneurs. Through LiU’s and Almi’s joint initiative Kunskapsbron, I help connect research with practice by facilitating dialogue between researchers and business actors. In addition, my role at LiU Innovation and Collaboration allows me to support innovation-driven development and the valorisation of ideas.
I enjoy lecturing
I value oral communication and interactive dialogue as powerful tools for sharing knowledge and ideas. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to learn more about my work or explore opportunities for collaboration
