Welcome to my website!
I am an associate professor (universitetslektor) of economics at Uppsala University, where I began working in 2014 after obtaining a PhD from LSE. From 2025–2026 I was a reader of economics at the University of Edinburgh. My research focuses on technological change, labor markets, and the economics of education.
