About me

  • Assistant professor since September 2021 at the Division of Speech and Language Pathology, Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology at the Karolinska Institutet (KI). Before that post doc at the same department and before that defended his PhD thesis in Psychology in 2016 at Stockholm university.

Research

  • My main research interest is in how treatment effects should be evaluated based on clinical relevance and on an individual level in speech- and language therapy studies.

    I collaborate, and mainly contribute with knowledge in research methods and statistics, in a number of research areas at the Division of Speech and Language Pathology, KI.

    Within the research area Early Development and Disorders of Speech, I am the principal driver in a systematic review, and meta-analysis, of the effectiveness of speech- and language pathology treatment for individuals born with a cleft lip and/or palate. I also collaborate in a project on screening for early speech disorders based on childrens babbling debute.
