My research focuses on human thermal environments, climate change and health, heat and cold stress, thermophysiology and thermal comfort. Recent research projects include personal protection and protective clothing, effects of thermal climate factors on health, comfort and performance, development of personal cooling strategies to alleviate heat stress, and heat health early warning system. Another area of research is the prevention of slips and falls, and gait biomechanics. Part of the reseach is carried out at the Thermal Environment Laboratory and Gait and Motion Laboratory.
Recent research Projects
For a number of years I participated in teaching the following three elective courses:
1. Human in extreme environments (TFRC70, 7.5 hp),
2. Work and exercise physiology (TFRA10, 7.5 hp),
3. Human and indoor environments (TFRC05, 7.5 hp).
Since 2008 I have participated in teaching the following four programme courses and in supervising Master and PhD students.
1. Human performance in extreme environments (IDRN09, MAMF35),
2. Medical and technical aspects of sport and physical performance (IDRN05),
3. Work environment, safety and health (Arbete-Människa-Teknik, MAM070),
4. Biomechanics (FHLF05, since 2014)
