My primary research focus is on non-standard employment arrangements and their impact on health. The ever-changing economic environment, technological advancements, the general weakening of trade unions, and changes in labor laws have led to the emergence of various non-standard work arrangements. My research aims to address the significant challenges related to evaluating the consequences of these work arrangements.

The overall purpose of my current research is to deepen the understanding of how non-standard work arrangements affect individuals, families, and communities, and how these contribute to inequalities in work environment, health, and well-being. Additionally, I aim to identify initiatives that counteract the negative effects of non-standard work arrangements and increase the ability of workers to participate, exercise empowerment, and live healthy lives.

In addition to this, I have also participated in and supported several other research projects in occupational and environmental medicine. Most of my research is funded by Forte and involves collaboration with researchers from other universities in Sweden, Belgium, Spain, Chile, the USA, and Canada.

I supervise both PhD Students and postdocs and occasionally master students. I teach and supervise medical students and master students in occupational and environmental epidemiology and serve as mentor for medical  students.
I am the course leader for the elective course "Comparing Health Systems"  during the last semester at the medical program at KI
