Sweden
I am a chemist with a background in physical chemistry and 10+ years of practical experience in working in international research groups. I enjoy the hands-on work in the laboratory and the planning of the experiments. My professional experience includes the preparation and the characterization of colloid-, polymer- and nanoparticle-based formulations. I have a flair for numbers and like the mathematical modeling of the experimental results. In addition to this, I am familiar with MS Windows-and Linux-based operating systems, commonly used analysis software and customized data modeling using Matlab or Python. As a person, I am open-minded and enjoy working in international and interdisciplinary teams. Already as a PhD student I have taken responsibility for both the supervision and the teaching of students as well as the maintenance of laboratory equipment.
