About me
I graduated with a Master's of Science in Biotechnology in 2019 from LTH. The same year, I started as a Ph.D. student at the Department of Automatic Control.
It is a bit unusual to go from Biotechnology to Automatic Control, but this makes me a true Multidisciplinary researcher. I love the challenge it brings to have a different background than the
rest of the group and how different our views are.

Research
I'm part of the research group working with EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces led by Prof. Bo Bernhardsson. My thesis aims to optimize the next generation of Brain-Computer Interfaces using cloud computing.

2020
The Corona pandemic forced us to have online teaching this year. I started webinars, which is a new way of teaching at the department. During a webinar, the students discuss the material from a lecture in an organized way with each other and me. Read more here.

Awards
2021
Spring
I was awarded the Pedagogical prize from the W-guild for best teaching assistant of the year. I taught the course Systems Engineering, where I introduced webinars which were highly appreciated by the students. Read more about webinars here. In the picture below, me and Jenny Schelin (teacher of the year) recive our prizes.
Autumn
Once again, I was rewarded the prize for Best Teaching Assistant of the Year. This time, the student from the M-guild gave me the prize for my teaching in the course Automatic control, basic course.
2020
I was awarded this years scholarship from the Karl-Erik Sahlbergs foundation for my excellent Master's thesis.
Motivation
Antibodies are target-searching drugs used for the treatment of severe diseases. The use of antibody-based drugs is, among other things, limited by expensive production methods. In Fridas Master's thesis, she gives an excellent description of how advanced process methods can contribute to improved antibody production. The presentation of results and suggestions of 'Future Work' is done excellently in the thesis.
Other activities
2021
- I'm Ph.D. student representative in the Board of the Department of Automatic Control.
- I organized a workshop on workplace equality in two courses, together with Prof. Margret Bauer.
