Parental leave 2002-2005 totally 22 months for Emil and Julia Wiklund Awards, Fellowships 2018 nominated for Jan Andersson Lecture Award in photosynthesis research 2018 nominated for Wallenberg scholars 2013, 2016 The Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg travel fellowship 2013 Adlebertska Foundation research fellowship 2006 Wallenberg travel fellowship 2002 Helge Ax:son Johnsons Foundation travel and computer fellowship 1997-1998 Wenner-Gren Center Foundation fellowship for postdoctoral research 1992-1993 United Nations and Hungarian Academy of Sciences Research fellowship Research orientation: My basic research project focuses on deciphering the network of transporters operating in the thylakoid membrane to effectively adjust photosynthesis in a rapidly changing environment. Taking advantage of our long experience in photosynthesis research, I have also initiated a more applied research project in biomass production using microalgae from the Swedish west coast.
