Research interests

• Reactions and speciation of simple inorganic and organic molecules in the interface aqueous solution-air.
• Speciation of metals in natural systems as natural waters and soil in Sweden and in developing countries in Africa
• Structural and dynamics studies of inorganic ions in aqueous solution
• Removal of arsenic from drinking water
• Chemical reactions and mechanical properties of archaeological wood, in particular the historic Swedish warship the Vasa.
• Synchrotron light based research
• Structure determination of advanced inorganic materials as metal-organic frameworks

My research has been externally funded through grants with a turnover of ca 3 million SEK annually. I have close collaboration with Uppsala and Stockholm University with shared Ph.D. students.
