CURRENT RESEARCH
READ MORE ABOUT
As a PhD student at Occupational Medicine, Umeå University, I studied relations between stress and pain. In 2006, I defended my thesis entitled "Psychophysiological reactions to experimental stress - relations to pain sensitivity, position sense and stress perception". Today, my research is focused more towards cost-efficient strategies for exposure assessment of physical work load in working life.
