I am a researcher with expertise in planetary environmental simulation, scientific instrumentation, and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) for space exploration. My Ph.D. at Luleå University of Technology focused on the design and commissioning of the SpaceQ Martian environmental simulator to investigate near-surface water cycles and surface-atmosphere interactions. I validated the performance of the HABIT instrument for ESA’s ExoMars mission under simulated Oxia Planum conditions, and combined laboratory experiments with COMSOL Multiphysics modeling to study transient liquid water and regolith moisture capture.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Arkansas, I worked on NASA Habitable Worlds and NASA Rapid Response Research projects. My research examined the stability of brines on Mars and the formation of methane clathrate hydrates as potential sources of methane. I developed and applied experimental protocols in planetary simulation chambers, and used spectroscopy techniques (FTIR, XRD, Raman) to characterize physical and chemical processes relevant to habitability, planetary protection, and mission planning.

Currently, I lead technical development of advanced water and nutrient recovery systems for space habitats at Hydromars AB. I am passionate about applying experimental planetary science to both extraterrestrial and terrestrial challenges, bridging fundamental research with engineering solutions that support sustainable exploration.
