iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Joined a panel at #KBCDays 🌱 Talking openly about challenges & opportunities in academia matters. It’s not an easy path—funding, supervision, independence—but honesty, preparation & great people make it meaningful. Still learning every day. #Academia #Mentorship

Talking face-to-face followed by clear documentation, which is approved by all parties, is my personal key to making the team work TOGETHER. This is not about bureaucracy—it’s about creating a low-barrier way to address challenges before they become problems.

Rollercoaster 2024 has ended - my first full year as a professor. Filled with challenges, and I know there’s still a lot to learn. In 2025, I hope to work towards a healthy work-life balance, and enjoy the wild nature here in northern Sweden. Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the new year!
