I am a research fellow in Old Testament Exegesis within the program "At the End of the World: A Transdisciplinary Approach to the Apocalyptic Imaginary in the Past and Present" (EOTW). My research is situated at the intersection of the Hebrew Bible Studies and Jewish Thought throughout history. My teaching and research interests include Second Temple Judaism, the Dead Sea Scrolls, rabbinic literature, Jewish mysticism, psychedelics and religion/spirituality, as well as contemporary Hebrew literature. Within EOTW, I explore the development of apocalyptic temple imaginaries, from the Hebrew Bible to reinterpretations in contemporary Jewish cultural expressions. As a cultural columnist and lecturer, I have a strong foundation in popular science communication and regularly contribute to SVT (Swedish Television) and SR (Swedish Radio). Since 2013, I have been translating modern Hebrew literature into Swedish, with translated works by authors such as Amos Oz and David Grossman, among others.
