 5. Project management:

I was involved in the coordination of the following projects;

(i) NEXTEC (2011–2014): EC-FP-7 funded – 3.9 M€

I was the Assistant Coordinator for this project. Together with 12 world-class EU institutions, the project developed prototype thermoelectric generator units for automobiles and industrial furnaces. My task involved coordination of activities between SMEs, research institutes (CSIC, NPL, Fraunhofer-IPM, LEITAT, NCSRD) and industrial partners (Siemens and SEAT).

(ii) SCALABLE TEG (2012–2015): SSF funded project – 1.8 M€

I was involved in setting up a consortium of Swedish researchers in the field of hybrid thermoelectric materials and writing the project proposal. The project involves development of solution processable thermoelectric devices. I was the assistant coordinator of the project.

(iii) MagBeW (2015–2017): Vinnova funded project – 4.9 MSEK

This project is developing magnetic beads for novel water purification technology, coordinated by Chalmers Institute of Technology. I am coordinating the SP activities for this project.

(iv) INCOM (2016): EIT-Raw materials – 113 K€

The project is about improving Intrapreneurship in raw-materials companies. I am acting as the coordinator for this project.

6. Teaching: Co-responsible for

(i) Nanostructured Materials and Self Assembly (IM2657)

(ii) Experimental Techniques - Bulk (IM2658)

(iii) Introduction to Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology (IM2655)

7. Supervision:
