Principal Research Engineer

Innovating sustainable construction via cutting-edge bio-based & concrete materials. Pioneering mechanical & chemical behavior analysis, chemistry-driven CO2 quantification, and energy-efficient solutions for industrial impact and a greener future.

As a Principal Research Engineer at Linköping University, my work is dedicated to revolutionizing the construction sector through advanced, sustainable solutions. My mission is to bridge cutting-edge academic research with tangible industrial impact, fostering a greener, more energy-efficient built environment.

My research focuses on developing sustainable and innovative materials, including bio-based materials and concrete, through in-depth mechanical and chemical behavior analysis. I integrate chemistry to pioneer new methods for CO2 quantification in concrete, enhancing sustainability and advancing LCA. Beyond research, my entrepreneurial journey in Sweden, including the LEAD incubator, drives the industrialization of these innovations. I possess extensive experience in teaching civil engineering at various levels, supervising PhD and Master's students, and securing research funding, reinforcing my commitment to both knowledge creation and dissemination.
