Biography
I was awarded a PhD in Theory of Science from Göteborg University in Sweden for a thesis based on ethnographic study of medical molecular biology. After completing the degree I spent three years in Australia, doing postdoctoral research on biological control of exotic pests. Having returned to Sweden I won Research Council funding for a three-year research project on gender, sexuality and technology. After finishing this project I moved to the UK for a three year post doctoral position at University of Oxford, working in the transdisciplinary project ‘Understanding Environmental Knowledge Controversies: The Case of Flood Risk Management’. Since coming to UEA in August 2010 my research has focused on scientific uncertainty, climate change and climate modelling.
Key Research Interests
Science and Technology Studies (STS) focussing on the environmental sciences, in particular environmental computer simulation modelling.
