About me
I am a board-certified Neuroradiologist (since 2016) and Nuclear Medicine Specialist (since 2020) currently practicing at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna. My expertise is centered on advanced diagnostic imaging.
Since 2019, I have been a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, focusing on advanced MRI techniques for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. My research specifically investigates novel methods for MS lesion detection, gadolinium-related imaging effects, and biomarker development.
Since March 2021, I have also served as the Medical Coordinator for the PET/MR unit at Karolinska University Hospital. In this role, I focus on optimizing hybrid imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy in both clinical practice and research projects.
