Research Interests: She investigates steel reinforcement corrosion in concrete, bond-slip relationships in corroded structures, and 3D imaging techniques (neutron/X-ray tomography) to analyze degradation mechanisms. Her studies address cracks' impact on corrosion propagation and structural longevity in marine exposures.

Key Publications (2017-2023): Her 15 recent articles in high-impact journals like Cement and Concrete Research and Construction and Building Materials analyze topics such as:

• Chloride-induced corrosion in cracked concrete
• 3D tomography of corrosion morphology
• Bond strength of aged reinforcement bars
• Anchorage capacity in corroded structures

Projects: She leads and contributes to projects funded by the Swedish Transport Administration, including Cracks and Reinforcement Corrosion (2023–2026) and Cracor (2019–2022), focusing on assessing load-carrying capacity and corrosion dynamics in infrastructure.
