My research is in the area of Economic Demography where I specialize in migration. I am interested in the individual level effects of naturalization (change of citizenship status) for immigrants. I have also studied both income -and intergenerational effects of intermarriage. Research interest of mine is immigrant’s educational attainment and policy in the area of immigrant education and also  in the area of family demography where I study consequences of stepfamily formation for  children.

I am teaching at the Department of Economic History,  mainly in the master's program of economic demography but I have taught all levels and various areas within the field.  I am also both an examiner and a supervisor in the thesis course.  I have previously taught in the bachelor's program in Social work, semester six, where I mainly taught research methods and research design.

I have written a report for the Delegation for Migration Studies (DELMI) presented for the Swedish government and in Swedish media. Results from my thesis was also presented for the Danish ministry of labor and Copenhagen Municipality.
