I am a space systems engineer with a background in planetary environmental simulation, scientific instrumentation, and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). My experience spans experimental research, system development, and validation activities under mission-relevant conditions, with a focus on understanding constraints at the interface between scientific objectives and engineering implementation.

I hold a Ph.D. from Luleå University of Technology, where I designed and commissioned the SpaceQ planetary environmental simulation chamber to study near-surface water cycles and surface–atmosphere interactions on Mars. This work involved defining experimental requirements, developing test protocols, and validating instrument performance under simulated Martian environments. As part of this effort, I contributed to the validation of the HABIT instrument for ESA’s ExoMars mission, and combined laboratory experiments with COMSOL Multiphysics modeling to investigate transient liquid water formation and regolith moisture capture.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Arkansas on NASA Habitable Worlds and NASA Rapid Response Research projects, where I investigated the stability of Martian brines and methane clathrate hydrates. This work included experimental studies in planetary simulation chambers and the application of spectroscopy techniques (FTIR, XRD, Raman) to characterize physical and chemical processes relevant to habitability, planetary protection, and mission planning.

Currently, I lead the technical development of water and nutrient recovery systems for space habitats at Hydromars AB, working across experimental research, system design, and operational considerations. I am motivated by roles that involve system-level thinking, technical coordination, and collaboration across scientific and engineering teams in support of space research and exploration activities.
