Forskning
I am currently working as a research assistant in the Land4Climate project at SLU Alnarp. This three-year Interreg-funded initiative focuses on climate adaptation through the rewetting of organic soils, in collaboration with Swedish and Danish partners. My work explores implementation aspects both in theory and in practice, the latter by closely studying the processes initiated within participating municipalities through the Land4Climate framework. I contribute to knowledge exchange among project partners and support broader dissemination of lessons learned. (Link to the project webpage here: Land4Climate SLU)
Alongside my formal position, I also engaged in a collaborative project at Movium, SLU’s think tank for sustainable urban development. The project was carried out in cooperation with the City of Helsingborg and had a focus on translating research findings into practical applications. (Project report available here: Rapport Movium)

My master’s thesis investigated the factors influencing the implementation of green infrastructure plans. Through interviews with municipal and governmental officials, both barriers and success factors were identified and analyzed to support more effective implementation of such plans .
