Song Ee Ahn is an Assistant Professor at Linköping University, affiliated with both the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Learning (IBL) and the Department of Pedagogy and Adult Learning (PVL). She serves as the international coordinator for the International Masters Program Adult Learning and Global Change, a unique collaboration between University of British Columbia in Canada, University of the Western Cape in South Africa, and Linköping University.
Her research focuses on socio-materiality in educational activities, particularly examining how material elements interact with people in pedagogical contexts. She employs Actor Network Theory to investigate learning that occurs in simulation training with high fidelity simulators in healthcare education and how pedagogical intentions transform during the design process of virtual patients. Her current work examines simulation training in upper secondary vocational education.
Dr. Ahn's publications demonstrate a strong focus on simulation-based vocational education, with recent articles exploring how vocational students experience and reflect on simulation training. Her research reveals how simulators transition from being mere storage places to becoming 'new colleagues' in the educational process.

She supervises doctoral students including Jonas Forsmark (University lecturer) and Andreas Lagerlöf (Doctoral student). Her research projects include simulation-based training in vocational education, didactic innovation at folk high schools, and assessment research through the FoB network at Linköping University.
