I am originally from the south of Sweden but moved to the north to pursue a PhD in cognitive neuroscience at Umeå center for Functional Brain Imaging under the supervision of Anna Rieckmann and Lars Nyberg. In my PhD I investigated how dopamine release in the human striatum is related to reinforcement learning using hybrid PET/MR brain imaging and computational modelling of behavior.

In July 2022, I joined the Donders Institute as a joint postdoc in the labs of Rick Helmich and Roshan Cools to study how Parkinson’s patients estimate how controllable their environment is. The project is part of a larger consortium involving a team of international researchers dedicated to investigate the pathological progression of Parkinson’s disease.
