She has been investigating well-being (www.twinkleflip.com), resilience, and sustainability from a point of view of software engineering during the past ten years, working on a body of knowledge and concepts of how to support sustainability from within RE. Part of these efforts are documented with the Karlskrona Alliance that published a body of work including the Karlskrona Manifesto (see also http://www.sustainabilitydesign.org).
Looking into how software engineering research can help support permaculture and regenerative agriculture because she’s a food growing enthusiast and plant lover.

She gave a TEDx talk in 2022 in Goeteborg about how wellbeing, resilience and sustainability are connected and how to consider them when designing technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04JkvbF4I9A
