Since I was a child, I have been interested in physics and astronomy and have loved reading
about the planets, the stars and the Universe.
Today, it is quite amazing to me that I can conduct my own research on these topics.
Therefore, I am happy for any opportunity to help make science and my research
accessible to a wider, non-expert audience.
Below is a list of popular science articles that were written about my research, as well as
outreach activities I have had the opportunity to participate in.
Many thanks to all the journalists who have reached out and written articles about my research!

As part of my PhD at Stockholm University, I have been a member of
FysikShow→,
an interactive physics show aimed at middle and high school students.
Our aim is to engage pupils with physics in a fun way. We visit schools and conduct experiments
together with the pupils, such as making our hair stand up with the Van der Graaf generator
or converting songs into flames with Ruben's tube. We also talk about our own research and can
hopefully spark an interest in science and physics in many of the pupils.
Together with FysikShow, I participated at
ForskarFredag 2023, the Swedish part of the European Researchers' Night.
