Short presentation
Senior lecturer in conservation at Uppsala University Campus Gotland.
Program coordinator for the Master Programme in Humanities with specialisation in Cultural Heritage and Sustainability.
My research interest is about sustainable management of cultural heritage, with a focus on energy- and indoor climate issues. I am especially interested in the interplay between research, policy and practice in this field.
