The overarching theme of my research is the interaction between security and sustainable development. Moving towards a sustainable society can reduce threats that today are perceived to undermine security but such a development can also generate new security concerns.

I lead the research programme Mistra Mineral Governance (www.mistramineralgovernance.se). The programme started in 2024 and analyse goal conflicts with increased demand for critical raw materials in low carbon transition.

My research has mainly focused on how low carbon energy systems interact with security, critical minerals, synergies and trade-offs between energy security and climate change mitigation policies, energy related conflicts, and how scenarios can be used to assess robustness and adaptive capacity of security strategies in order to manage uncertainty.

I am course director for two undergraduate courses, Environmental System Studies: Management for Sustainable Development (FMIF01) and Sustainable Development (FMIF60).

I am director for doctoral studies at the department of Technology and Society, LTH.
