About me

Medical physicist at the Karolinska University Hospital, specializing in radiotherapy in general and proton therapy in particular. Did my PhD in proton therapy at Uppsala University, defending my thesis in 2022.

Research

Research interests include:
- Monte Carlo dose calculations
- Usage of LET and RBE in proton therapy
- Micro- and nanodosimetry
