Short presentation
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ConnectMe project. It explores the evolving landscape of digital mental healthcare and its impact on clinicians’ work environments. As part of our ongoing research, the ConnectMe project focuses on understanding how digital tools, especially video consultations, transform how mental health professionals work. In this project, we delve into the opportunities and challenges of adopting a flexible, digital work environment in mental healthcare.

Biography
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with a specialization in Computer Science, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a focus on Information Systems, and a PhD in Information Systems.
I am a researcher and an educator with over 10 years of experience in research and teaching. My overarching research goal is to understand how technological advancements affect individuals in diverse settings. For the last five years, I was involved in a multi-disciplinary Marie Curie project focused on the intersection of digital technologies, healthcare, and mental health. In my PhD in Information Systems, I explored designing IT applications for different groups of informal caregivers in Sweden – Swedish native, immigrant and head and neck cancer. I used multiple design methods to explore this design and provided a critical comparative analysis. Prior to that, I have worked in the area of technology adoption in diverse cultural settings. I have extensive experience in working in inter-disciplinary projects and mixed methods.
I am also dedicated to fostering inclusive, learner-centric environments, which I emphasize in my teaching philosophy. My work spans a variety of interdisciplinary areas, including design science research, connected health and digital transformation in healthcare, technology adoption and I am passionate about contributing to innovation in both teaching and research practices.
