Personal profile

Research

RPT, MSc Sport Psychology, PhD Medical Science,  Associate Professor in Epidemiology

I did my PhD in Occupational and Environmental Medicine (2005), became an associate professor in epidemiology (2010), and continued to work as a researcher at AMM until 2012, when I obtained a position as a university lecturer in Health Sciences. My initial research was in the areas of stress, epidemiology, and public health. After moving over to Health Sciences, my research primarily focused on sports medicine; rehabilitation and return to sport after hip arthroscopy and injury epidemiology, but also to some extent connected to stress and other psychological aspects. I am/have also been involved in research within several other areas such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, and vascular surgery.

 

Another focus is the scientific approach in clinical application, which is also my central focus in my main role as lecturer teaching in statistics, scientific (quantitative) method, and epidemiology. I am course responsible and teach within scientific methodology/thesis courses in the medical program and physiotherapy program, and also teach within these areas in several other programs within the medical faculty.
