Jag är i grunden Sjukgymnast och tog min kandidatexamen 2001. Jag arbetar som Belastningsergonom på arbets- och miljömedicin vid Norrlands universitetssjukhus, samt bedriver forskning inom ergonomi. Jag disputerade 2008 vid institutionen för samhällsmedicin och rehabilitering vid Umeå Universitet. 2010-2011 gjorde jag en post-doc vid University of Washington i Seattle, USA.

Min tidiga forskning har framför allt fokuserat på exponering för helkroppsvibrationer och koppling till besvär i rörelseapparaten. Därefter har jag varit inblandad i projekt som studerat kopplingen mellan belastning och muskuloskeletala besvär. Jag forskar bl a om hälsoeffekter av att arbeta med i yrken med höga fysiska krav när man blir äldre, och arbetsmiljö och fysiskt aktivitet bland timmerbilsförare.
