SKILLS
Since 1995 I have been working with different aspects of characterization, using various microscopy and image analysis techniques and applied to several structures; from plant cells exposed to micro-gravity to novel composite materials based on nanocellulose. During the last years I have been a principal researcher at the PFI, Paper and novel materials group. I have acted as manager of various national and international projects. Presently, I am the project manager of the NanoHeal project, where we focus on activities related to nanocellulose production, its characterization, modification and application as a biomaterial for wound healing.EDUCATION
