Biografi
Forskning
Min forskning fokuserar på samspelet mellan digitalisering, arbetsmiljö och teknikens påverkan på människor. Jag är särskilt intresserad av hur IT-system utformas och implementeras för att stödja hälsa och välbefinnande på arbetsplatsen, med en specifik inriktning på e-hälsa, inkluderande design och effekterna av automatisering och AI på arbetsmiljöer. Inom dessa områden har jag lett flera forskningsprojekt, däribland studier om digitaliseringens inverkan på sjukvård och arbetsplatser samt utveckling av digitala tjänster och verktyg som stödjer både användare och vårdgivare.
Jag har varit huvudhandledare för:
- Jonathan Källbäcker, doktorsexamen förväntas 2028
- Awais Ahmad, doktorsexamen förväntas 2026
- Shweta Premanandan, disputerade 2024
- Gerolf Nauwerck, halv-way seminar 2016
- Diane Golay, disputerade 2022
- Thomas Lind, disputerade 2017
Jag har också varit bihandledare för:
- Celina Sving, Uppsala universitet doktorsexamen förväntas 2029
- Andreas Bergqvist, Uppsala universitet doktorsexamen förväntas 2029
- Irene Muli, Uppsala universitet doktorsexamen 2024 eller 2025
- Annika Bärkås, Uppsala universitet doktorsexamen 2024
- Hanife Rexhepi Högskolan i Skövde, doktorsexamen 2019
- Christian Grünloh KTH, doktorsexamen 2018

Jag har handlett eller handleder följande postdoktorer:
- Magdalena Stadin (2021–2025)
- Jonas Moll (2016–2018)
- Thomas Lind (2017–2019)
- Isabella Scandurra (2014-2016)
I min forskargrupp, Human Technology and Organisation (HTO), bedriver vi både grundläggande och tillämpad forskning inom områden som sjukvård, arbetsmiljö och digitalisering av arbetsplatser. Vår forskning finansieras av olika forskningsfonder och vi arbetar ofta i interdisciplinära projekt som kombinerar empiriska studier med utveckling av nya teorier och metoder. Ett exempel på vårt arbete är forskningsprojektet "AROA" som utforskar arbetsengagemang vid automatisering och robotisering, finansierat av AFA Försäkring.
Sedan 2013 har jag också lett DOME-konsortiet (Deployment of Online Medical Records and E-Health Services), vilket har spelat en central roll i att utforska och förbättra användningen av digitala patientjournaler i Sverige.
Betygskommittéer och uppdrag som opponent
Jag har varit opponent och ledamot i ett 30-tal betygskommittéer för doktorsavhandlingar både nationellt och internationellt, med fokus på människa-datorinteraktion och eHälsa.
Undervisning och forskarutbildningskurser
Jag har undervisat kontinuerligt i över 30 år och har tilldeltats titeln "Excellent lärare". Dessutom organiserar och leder jag forskarutbildningskurser, ofta i samarbete med andra forskare, med fokus disputationer inom HCI och review av forskningsartiklar.
Jag granskar årligen ett flertal examensarbeten, främst från programmen inom STS, MDI, IT och datavetenskap.
Industrianknytning
Jag har omfattande erfarenhet av samarbete med industrin, särskilt inom projekt som rör digitalisering och arbetsmiljö. Jag har också arbetat i många aktionsforskningsprojekt.
Uppdrag
Jag har haft flera ledande uppdrag inom akademin, inklusive rollen som rådgivare till rektor i frågor om lika villkor vid Uppsala universitet. Jag har också varit medlem i det permanenta elektorskollegiet vid universitetet och har varit aktiv i olika program- och anställningskommittéer.
Sakkunnig och extern bedömare
Jag har haft förmånen att tjänstgöra som sakkunnig och extern bedömare vid många universitet och forskningsinstitutioner, både nationellt och internationellt. I denna roll har jag granskat ansökningar för akademiska tjänster, bedömt forskningsprojekt och bidragit till rekryteringsprocesser för professorer och lektorer. Mitt arbete som sakkunnig har inkluderat granskning av forskningskvalitet, vetenskapliga bidrag och pedagogisk skicklighet, där jag har fokuserat på att säkerställa att kandidater uppfyller höga akademiska standarder.
