In my research I develop new instrumentation and experiment methodologies based on fundamental physics. In particular, I'm interested in the symmetry properties of the Maxwell fields and their application in space physics research, radio astronomy, and astroparticle physics, such as ultra high-energy cosmic ray and neutrino detection.

I'm a senior scientist within the Physics in Space programme (PHiSP) at IRF in Uppsala but I also work together with the Space Plasma Physics group in several satellite projects, such as Swarm, Solar Orbiter and the MicroLink-1 (formerly NanoSpace-1) nanosatellite. On MicroLink-1 I'm the project manager for the scientific payload.

In 2004, I was employed as a post-doc researcher by the EU Research Training Network (RTN) "Turbulent Boundary Layers in Geospace Plasmas" and worked at the Space Research Centre (CBK) in Warsaw, Poland. There, I became the Polish-Swedish coordinator for our joint Radio Frequency Analyzer (RFA) instrument for the Obstanovka-1 experiment to be installed onboard the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) in 2007/2008. I'm the technical manager for the digital Vector Reciever (VRX) module of RFA, which is IRF's contribution.

During the biannual meeting between the Polish and Russian academies of sciences in October 2004, I got invited to participate in a satellite project called COMPASS-2, which is a microsatellite for detecting precursors to earthquakes. On COMPASS-2, where I'm a Co-I, CBK and IRF contribute with a reduced version of RFA; including our RX module. The satellite was launched in May 26, 2006 from a Russian nuclear submarine in Barentz sea.

Recently, we delivered yet another RX module to CBK, for the RFA instrument that will fly on board COMPASS-3, sceduled for launch in December 2008. We also participate in a Mexican-Russian nanosatellite (MRN) project with a set of instruments similar to what we develop for MicroLink-1. In addition to a vector radio spectrometer, the Space Physics Instrument (SPI) comprises a dual Langmuir probe and a fluxgate magnetometer.

My work also includes supervision of PhD and undergraduate students, as well as teaching and public outreach activities.
