Teaching
I teach primarily in pharmacology and physiology on both the nursing and biomedicine programs and also supervise thesis workers.
Research
The mail goal of my research is to gain increased knowledge and understanding of how our own anti-stress system works and how it can be activated. If we know how to trigger our own anti-stress system, we can translate this into practical use and develop preventive methods to counter stress and stress-related illness. In particular, my research focuses on health promotion effects associated with sensory stimulation and the underlying physiological mechanisms for these effects.
I conduct my research primarily at Högskolan i Skövde but also work closely with the research group GRASP (Group for Research in Affective Somatosensation and Pain) at Linköping University.

Ongoing projects
How are eye movements and biomarkers during moderate alcohol consumption?
The research project focuses on examining how eye movements and biomarkers are affected by moderate alcohol consumption. The study aims to conduct and evaluate digital measurements of eye movements and biomarkers.
January 2024 - December 2026 DHEARCan mobile phone-based follow-up and treatment reduce alcohol consumption?
The aim of the research project is to investigate whether digital tools offering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be used to enhance interventions targeting individuals with risky alcohol use.
