Personal profile

Research

I have a strong track record of leading interdisciplinary research teams, successfully supervising PhD theses focused on the metabolic aspects of biological material processing. These projects required close collaboration with plant biologists, engineers, and food scientists, underscoring my ability to work across diverse scientific disciplines.

In addition to my supervisory roles, I have been actively involved in EU-funded projects and co-authored numerous publications with researchers from various fields. My research is focused on innovative food processing technologies, particularly pulsed electric fields and vacuum impregnation. This work has resulted in a patent and several patent applications, which were instrumental in the founding of OptiCept Technologies AB, a company pioneering the industrial application of these technologies. During my four years as a council member of the International Society for Electroporation-Based Technologies and Treatments, I also contributed to the organization of two world conferences on electroporation.

I am also engaged in the field of solar drying of fruits in rural areas of developing countries, addressing not only the technology but also the economic analysis and the social impact on rural development and food security.

In agriculture and food sciences, I have served as the Director of "PlantLink," a collaborative network between Lund University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). PlantLink focuses on promoting scientific research, education, and outreach in plant science.
