The picture above (left), showing two interacting
galaxies, was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope by a group of astronomers
including myself. Read about the facts. The
photo in the middle (left) is taken by Göran Olofsson. The photo in the middle (right)
show me and my horse. The picture to the right is taken by Johan Wingborg at the ceremony when I was awarded the Gothenburg
University pedagogical prize 2012.
Welcome!
I am a docent in theoretical physics and employed as a university lecturer at
the Institute
of Physics at Göteborg
University. Since the 1st of July 2012 I am the Vice Head of the department.
The main parts of my job consists of teaching
astronomy and physics, doing research in astrophysics and equine science. Apart
from this, I also do a lot of public outreach I´m very interested in the
interdisciplinary aspects of astronomy.
If you want to get in touch
with me, here are some suggestions:
- my office is room S1022 on the
first floor in the Soliden-buildning (Physics),
at Chalmers University of Technology/GU.
