I am currently a Researcher at the Astronomy Department of Stockholm University.  My position is supported by the Swedish Science Council (VR) and Swedish Space Board (SNSB). You can find a detailed description of  my previous and current scientific achievements and skills in my cv.pdf

I obtained my PhD degree in Astronomy at the University of Stockholm in Feb 2011. My PhD thesis was on “Star clusters in Blue Compact Galaxies: Evidence for a NIR flux excess and properties of the starburst”. The introduction chapters to my PhD thesis can be found here.

I currently study star formation in local galaxies with the goal of linking small scale physics to galactic scale properties. You can find more about my current scientific interests here

Below, I list some links to beautiful astronomical images of galaxies for which I have studied the star cluster populations.
