I really enjoy when things are active around me. I like to learn something new everyday. I believe that almost all goals are achievable with enough belief and teamwork. The best thing for me is developing thoughts, processes, and operations with my colleagues. In my leisure time I read, take long walks, fish, and spend time with family. What I love most is vacationing in places where I can explore new cultures, foods, and museums, ideally with my family.With over 20 years of R&D experience in structural engineering, I joined Luleå University of Technology (LTU) as a chaired professor in 2020. I have led and contributed to multiple research projects on large structures such as concrete bridges and dams, working with diverse methods and tools to assess and enhance their performance and safety. I'm a certified Maxwell Leadership fellow and strive to be a better leader everyday. I have supervised and mentored several MSc and PhD students and published numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.My academic mission is to promote sustainability in the construction industry through innovative and multidisciplinary structural design. I develop methods to predict and extend the life span of existing structures, provide solutions to use recycled or next-generation engineered materials and quantify the impact of different decisions on the environmental footprint of structures. I collaborate with industry partners, academic institutions, and public authorities to disseminate and apply my research findings and recommendations.
