Biography

Professor in Food Studies, Nutrition and Dietetics.

Since 2016, I have been leading the INIS: International Nutrition Care Process Implementation Survey, an ambitious international study that unites researchers from 23 diverse countries. Collectively, we examine the implementation and utilization of a standardized operational framework and specialized terminology among dietitians globally.

I am also involved in research focused on developing person-centered tools for evaluating dietetic interventions in patients at risk of malnutrition. Additionally, I participate in an interdisciplinary initiative exploring the ethical dimensions of dietary counseling within primary healthcare settings.

Commencing in 2023, I have the role of coordinator for the doctoral programme InSyNC, a collaboration spearheaded by Uppsala University, in conjunction with Umeå and Gothenburg Universities. I am also Director of Doctoral Studies a the Department of Food Studies, Nutrition and Dietetics.
