About me
- I am a Physics PhD graduate with a vast variety of research interests
comprising renewable energy, seismology, physical activity and neuroimaging.
Overall, I have worked in various laboratories and conducted a broad range of
experiments in a transdisciplinary environment. In my current role at the
Division of Physiotherapy at Karolinska Institute, I manage data obtained
from activity monitors and develop various automated algorithms for analysis
of raw physical activity data. Additionally, I develop protocols for
assessment of cortical brain activity using functional near-infrared
spectroscopy. I am proficient in various programming software’s and skilled
in digital signal processing.

Research
- My research focuses include understanding physical activity behavior in
people with neurological diseases by analyzing data obtained from activity
monitors. Additionally, I am investigating the feasibility of using
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) - a non-invasive brain imaging
method, in different healthy populations across the life-span and clinical
populations (e.g. Parkinson’s disease (PD), Multiple sclerosis (MS) and
stroke) with mobility impairments. I am also developing and testing a new
conceptual framework to portray physical activity which integrates objective
assessed physical activity using accelerometry, with the contextual setting
where the activity is performed using global positioning systems (GPS) and
environmental layers (e.g. google earth).
