Biography

I'm a Senior Lecturer (Docent) in the Department of Engineering Science at Mälardalen University. I earned my Ph.D. in Energy and Environment from City University of Hong Kong, and my research focuses on creating smarter, more flexible, and sustainable energy systems. My work explores how we can better design and integrate technologies like electric vehicles, energy communities, and district heating to support the transition to a fossil-free society. I'm especially passionate about peer-to-peer energy sharing and the role of electric vehicles as active assets in future energy networks. For me, energy systems are not just technical challenges—they are opportunities to build a more resilient and equitable future. I'm actively involved in both national and international research projects, including collaborations funded by Formas, the Swedish Energy Agency, CETPartnership, EU Horizon 2020, and Nordic Energy Research. Together with partners, I've helped secure more than SEK 50 million in research funding. So far, I've published over 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, a book, and nearly 35 conference papers. In addition to research and teaching, I regularly review for journals such as Applied Energy , Renewable Energy , and Energy and Buildings , and I supervise PhD students and postdocs. I enjoy working with students and colleagues to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and translate research into real-world impact.
