Gothenburg

I am a PhD student in materials science at Chalmers University of Technology, with a focus on studying the local structure and dynamics in proton and hydride ion conducting oxides for applications in hydrogen technologies such as solid oxide fuel cells and hydrogen sensors. I hold a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering with a major in mechatronics, and a Masters of Science in electrical engineering with a major in nanotechnology. Before pursuing PhD studies, I worked as a business consultant with focus on market research and due diligence. I am also a member of the European Young Engineers where I currently serve as a Vice President of Public Policy and I am actively involved in projects that work closely with the United Nations, and related to the COP29 conference on climate change.
