Area of interest

My general interest is in information systems and management, particularly in security, organisational and governance issues, such as policy and business analysis, process modelling and development, decision-making and cyber security. I have also a strong interest in interactions between individuals and other parts of complex systems from an information security perspective. Of particular interest for me is how critical infrastructure protection, societal security and crisis management can be understood from a system perspective.

Research

My doctoral dissertation, which I successfully completed and defended in 2020 and which received the ScAIEM thesis award 2021, is about systemic governance of the complex system that relate to critical infrastructure protection in society. The Swedish crisis managment system in general and the planning for protecting critical infrastructure against power shortages, called Styrel, serve as implemented examples for analysis and synthesis.

Between 2020 and 2021, together with Aron Larsson, a colleague from the RCR and FODI, I reviewed scientific literature, national and international policies and standards to investigate the demand and use of data in the context of large accidents and crises. The study focused primarily on applications of quantitative or semi-quantitative risk analysis in the context of critical infrastructure.

In 2020, together with Håkan Gunneriusson, a colleague from the RCR, I conducted a pilot study on the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency’s (MSB) role in the development of the total defence at regional and local level in Sweden.

During 2019, supported by colleagues from the RCR, I completed a pilot study that has addressed the role of regional airports as critical infrastructure from national, regional and local perspectives. This project was financed by the municipalities of Sundsvall and Timrå in collaboration with the Mid Sweden University. (https://www.miun.se/mot-mittuniversitetet/samverkan/goda-exempel-pa-samverkan/samverkan-med-sundsvalls-kommun/samverkansprojekt/den-smarta-staden/regionala-flygplatser/)

Between 2015 and 2018, together with colleagues from the RCR, I completed a study on challenges for governance in a complex response planning process that is dedicated to critical infrastructure protection, called STYREL. The interdisciplinary research project was funded by the Swedish Energy Agency (https://www.miun.se/RCR/RCR---Forskning/Pagaende-projekt/projekt/fran-myndighet-till-medborgare-och-tillbaka-en-studie-av-samverkan-och-kommunikation-inom-ramen-for-styrel/)

In spring 2018, together with colleagues from the RCR, I completed a study funded by MSB (the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency), where risk communication in eight different EU countries' was studied and compared.
