Academic staff

Anders Ahlberg

I am a senior lecturer, associate professor (docent) and Excellent Teaching Practitioner/ETP at CEE. I engage in educational development, mainly in support of doctoral education and supervision. This includes provision of a faculty-wide PhD course programme, supervision training for current and future professors, and an active role as faculty study director at the Research Programmes Board of LTH. My strategy is to create local educational knowledge that informs graduate school decision - and policy making. I also have a background as an earth scientist, doing research, teaching and supervision for more than two decades. It is therefore probably not surprising that my main educational interests include field-based learning, lab learning and other authentic active learning activities. Aside my work at LTH, I am enrolled as an associate professor in iEarth, a Norwegian academic consortium that researches and develops Earth Science education.

Elisabeth Nilsson

I am a senior lecturer in Physics and since the fall of 2022 I work part-time with educational development at my department, at the National Resource Centre for Physics and at the Centre for Engineering Education. Over the years, I have taught physics at most of LTH’s engineering programmes, served as programme director for Engineering Nanoscience, acted as director of studies in Physics and actively participated in various committees and boards within Lund University. Between 2018 and 2022 I worked with developing a Learning Organization at an intergovernmental research organization, the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, in Portugal. At times I serve as a pedagogical expert at various universities. At CEE I mainly work with the ETP-process.

Ingrid Svensson

I am a senior lecturer and associate professor (docent) in biomedical engineering, hold the title Excellent Teaching Practitioner/ETP, and work part time as an academic developer at CEE. My pedagogical interest is wide, and I have been engaged at different levels and in many different contexts during more than 30 years at LTH. In recent years, I have foremost been involved in assessment of both education and pedagogical competence. In my own work as a university teacher, I have been developing courses and course literature as well as educational programmes.

Jenny Schelin

I am senior lecturer and associate professor in food microbiology and also programme director for the Master's Programme in Pharmaceutical Technology. I work mainly at Applied Microbiology at the Department of Chemistry, but also at Packaging Logistics at the Department of Design Sciences. I teach future biotechnology, chemical and environmental engineers and master students from several different programmes. At Packaging Logistics, I serve as a programme co-coordinator for the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree “Food Innovation and Product Design” (FIPDes). The overall focus in my research is food safety and foodborne microbial virulence: in other words, to understand how different food poisoning pathogens survive, grow and produce toxins in different foods, food processing environments, packaging and storage conditions. I hold the title Excellent Teaching Practitioner/ETP and I am regularly an external evaluator in the assessment of teaching skills nationally. Connecting our teaching at LTH to the students' future professional role is something I am particularly passionate about. At CEE, I am mainly involved in the course on developing and leading courses as well as in LTH's pedagogical academy (ETP).

Jesper Samuelsson

During the autumn of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, I will as a student assistant run a project on how higher education pedagogy affects attendance in classroom teaching. In parallel, I am studying for a Master's degree in environmental engineering with a specialisation in energy systems. During my studies, I have, for example, been involved in my study council, been chairman of the study council, sabbatical officer at Teknologkåren as Head of Internal Educational Affairs, student representative in the Education board at LTH and other student representation assignments in undergraduate education at LTH, LU and for SFS.

My main interests lie in evaluating and identifying parts of the education that particularly contribute to high or low education quality and to concretise proposals for measures that increase the students' commitment and thus their learning in the respective educational content. My goal is that all students and teachers at LTH will be met with engagement to learning, innovation and creativity in all educational environments.

Johan Mauritsson

Professor in atomic physics and since 2023 one of two programme managers for the LTH Career Academy. Until 2023, I have sat on the Career Board and since 2022 I am also a member of LTH's Management Group for Basic Education with a special responsibility for lifelong learning. My research concerns ultrashort laser pulses that we create in the extreme ultraviolet range using high-power lasers. These pulses are used to study how electrons move in atoms and molecules. I enjoy popularising physics and have helped with LTH's Christmas calendar for several years, and I sit on the editorial board of Fysikaktuellt.

Mirjam Glessmer

I am a senoir lecturer and joined LTH as an academic developer in January 2022. My background is in physical oceanography, but for the last decade I’ve worked in academic development and science communication in Germany and Norway. I am very interested in "co-creation", i.e. involving students in developing their education, and helping students feel safe and that they belong at university. I hold an adjunct associate professorship at the University of Bergen where we are introducing co-creation in teaching while at the same time researching it. My pet projects revolve around helping students see disciplinary content in their everyday lives: #KitchenOceanography (exploring ocean physics with household items) and #WaveWatching (discovering physics everywhere, from your sink, a puddle in the street, the ocean). I document some of my thoughts on learning and teaching – especially related to subjects that deal with water, or teaching outdoors or in labs – on my personal blog https://mirjamglessmer.com as well as on Twitter. On Instagram, you can follow my daily wave watching practice. I look forward to connecting with you!

Torgny Roxå

I have been involved in academic development for more than 30 years. I teach pedagogical courses for academic teachers, I consult leaders and teachers, and I supervise doctoral students. My research deals mainly with development of teaching within higher education organisations. Hereby, the focus is on the meso level, that is, on workgroups, disciplinary communities, and departments. The idea is that through sociocultural processes these groups of academics stabilise the organisations and makes them resilient, with positive as well as negative implications. I also engage in the development of the profession, academic development, both nationally and internationally. Over the years I have been an external examiner at Oxford University and a visiting professor at Ulster University and at McMaster University. I also served for three years as vice president within the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
