| Short biography | I am Associate Professor of History of Technology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and served as Head of Division 2010-16. My research has been focused on media history with special interest in infrastructural and political issues concerning broadcasting technologies and frequency allocations. Recent interests are Arctic assessments and remote sensing of the cryosphere. I have had commissions for the Ministry of Culture, most recently concerning digital radio switch over. I sit on the board of the Nobel Museum and the steering committees for the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat and the Swedish Agency for Accessible Media. I have been part of ToE since the early 2000s and serve on the Management Committee since 2013. I was its chair 2015-2017. |
