Short presentation

I work as a senior lecturer at the Department of Musicology, and since July 2025 I am Director of Studies for advanced studies. I defended my thesis "En symfonisk särling. En studie i Allan Petterssons symfonikomponerande" in 2013. My research interests are Swedish music history in the 19th and 20th centuries and music analysis of pop and rock music, especially analysis of rhythm and meter. I was Director of studies 2013-2018 and Head of department 2018-2024.
