Senior researcher at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, working on the Process-Structure-Property-Performance/Recycling of sustainable metals through advanced characterization and computational modelling.
Team leader for Micro-/Nano-structure Characterization at the Unit Hultgren Laboratory for materials characterization, focusing on electron microscopy and atom probe tomography.
Developer in the VR-funded Center for X-rays in Swedish Materials Science (CeXS), focusing on the application and development of synchrotron X-rays and Neutrons based techniques, including WAXS, SAXS,etc., under different sample environments.

Lead a PhD project, focusing on high-throughput in situ synchrotron X-ray experiments, within the Vinnova-funded Competence Center NEXT (Neutron and X-ray science for industrial technology transitions).
Lead a PhD project, focusing on solid-state phase transformation and carbon partitioning in advanced high-strength steels, funded by Baosteel and KTH, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Co-lead a PhD project, focusing on development of hydrogen-tolerant high-performance steels, within the program of Green steel for a fossil-free future, funded by EU's just transition fund and Tillväxtverket.
Lead two EU ReMade-IND projects, in collaborations with Alleima AB and Outokumpu Stainless AB.
Take a KTH mobility project, in collaboration with Thermo_Calc AB.

Precipitation in Fe-based, Ni-based, Al-based alloys, etc.
