Short presentation
I am an associate professor in psychology with a focus on developmental processes in younger children. I work within Uppsala Barn- och Babylab, and also in a longitudinal project in collaboration with KI: Projekt Småsyskon, with the goal of identifying early markers for autism and ADHD.
In addition to research, I have developed analysis tools to make social science research more transparent and replicable. I have also worked as director of studies and with organisation development.
