I am a senior lecturer at Lund Observatory, where I am part of the Gaia group. Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford working with Prof James Binney in the Galactic Dynamics group.

I was recently awarded a VR project grant to study "The disturbed Milky Way"

I teach the Statistical tools in astrophysics course, and am coordinator for Bachelors projects in astronomy. In 2021 I was awarded the "Lunds studenters pedagogiska pris för framstående insatser i utbildningen".

I am a member of the Gaia Data processing and analysis consortium, and a 'builder' for the the RAVE survey, as well being involved with the upcoming 4MOST survey

I am co-supervisor of PhD students Daniel Mikkola (recently graduated), Eero Vaher and Simon Alinder.
