I hold a PhD in Sociology (Lund University) and am currently professor in science policy studies at Lund University School of Economics and Management, and a visiting professor at KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, NIFU, Oslo, and King's College, London. Previously, I have been affiliated with the University of Essex, Linköping University, Uppsala University, and Halmstad University College. I work primarily with issues of research policy, university governance and state-industry relations. I do teaching and supervision primarily in the area of organization and leadership. 

I am a permanent member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, a board member of Mid Sweden University and have been a member of the Swedish Government’s Research Advisory Board (2009-2010, 2015-2016).
