About me
I am a PhD student interested in the interface between particle physics and instrumentation. I'm an appointed representive for Sweden on the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) - Early Career Researchers Panel, and I am an Early Career Representative for the US-based Snowmass Process in the Instrumentation Frontier.
