About me
I am a board-certified Neuroradiologist (since 2016) and Nuclear Medicine Specialist (since 2020) currently practicing at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna. My expertise is centered on advanced diagnostic imaging.
Since 2019, I have been a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, focusing on advanced MRI techniques for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. My research specifically investigates novel methods for MS lesion detection, gadolinium-related imaging effects, and biomarker development.
Since March 2021, I have also served as the Medical Coordinator for the PET/MR unit at Karolinska University Hospital. In this role, I focus on optimizing hybrid imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy in both clinical practice and research projects.
