I am professor in classical archaeology and ancient history at Lund University. Having studied mathematics, architecture and classics at Lund University, I took a PhD in classical archaeology and ancient history in 2002. After a postdoc at the Department of classics, Royal Holloway College, London, I held the position as assistant professor at the Department of archaeology and ancient history in Uppsala, where I also acted as director of studies. I was awarded the docentship at Uppsala in 2008. In the spring of 2010 I returned to work at Lund University, first as a research fellow and then as senior lecturer. My research mostly revolves around Greek and Roman architecture and I am presently running several projects concerning ancient building technology, the early use of fired bricks in antiquity, and the Republican Forum Romanum in Rome.

From January 2024, I am the Head of the Department of archaeology and ancient history.
