معرفی
Sofia Wagrell serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and Industrial Engineering at Uppsala University, Sweden, based at The Ångström Laboratory. Her research bridges industrial engineering with healthcare innovation through rigorous analysis of resource interaction dynamics.
Her core research focuses on:
- Medical Technology Innovation: Investigating systemic barriers in Swedish healthcare through her 2017 doctoral thesis Drivers and Hindrances to Med-Tech Innovation and subsequent work on implementation frameworks
- Resource Interaction Theory: Developing conceptual models for resource management in industrial networks and healthcare settings, with applications in hospital sustainability
- Healthcare Policy: Leading Nordic collaborative research on antibiotic access (2024) and analyzing policy impacts on innovation ecosystems
Publication trends reveal a strategic evolution from foundational innovation process studies (2009-2013) toward applied healthcare system research (2017-2024), with increasing emphasis on policy-relevant resource interaction frameworks. Recent outputs demonstrate sophisticated integration of engineering principles with public health challenges, particularly in medical technology implementation and antibiotic resistance mitigation.
Dr. Wagrell maintains active research partnerships with Enrico Baraldi (antibiotic policy), Malena Havenvid (sustainable hospitals), and Åse Linné (knowledge integration in construction), operating within Uppsala University's interdisciplinary research ecosystem focused on healthcare engineering solutions.
