Jag disputerade i socialt arbete, år 2023, där jag undersökte civilsamhällesinsatser och specifikt idrottsrörelsens satsningar för att integrera nyanlända. Idag är jag lektor i polisiärt arbete, och forskningskoordinator för instititutionen för polisiärt arbete. Jag är också biträdande redaktör (2025 -) för Nordic Journal of Studies in Policing, och koordinator för polisforskningsnätverket 'EPREN' (European Policing Research and Education).

Mina intressen handlar om samverkan polis-, socialtjänst-, och civilsamhälle, brottsprevention lokalt, polismetod och organiserad brottslighet. I det senare har jag också intresserat mig för skiljelinjen mellan intern säkerhet- och extern säkerhet, och hur polisen i större utsträckning behöver förhålla sig till hybridkrigsföring.

För närvarande deltar jag i följande projekt, där jag projektleder de tre första á Södertörns vägnar:

• Kampsporten som brottsförebyggande medel (Brottsförebyggande Rådet, 2024 – 2026)
• Safety and Security in the Baltic Sea Region – a police perspective (Svenska Institutet, 2024 – 2025)
• Strategic Enforcement for Undermining Criminal Networks (Interna Säkerhetsfonden, 2024 – 2027)
• Sverige mot Organiserad Brottslighet (Europeiska Socialfonden, 2024 – 2027)
• Implementering av dialogpolis i Colombia och Sverige (intern finansiering, 2025 – 2026)
