- PhD in 2016 at Karolinska Institutet in ”Stereotactic body radiation therapy of lung tumours – Clinical and dosimetric aspects”
- Research activities in SBRT, mainly in SBRT of centrally located lung tumours and in uncertainties in SBRT treatments
- Active member of the Nordic SBRT study group, a collaboration in clinical research in SBRT between clinics in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland
- Member of the steering group for the Swedish National SRT group, a collaboration within clinical SRT activities between all Swedish SBRT clinics
