Jeg er instituttleder og professor i folkehelsevitenskap, og underviser og veileder studenter på masterstudiet i folkehelsevitenskap. Forskningsinteressene mine er de siste årene i hovedsak konsentrert omkring helsefremmende miljø og omgivelser, sosial bærekraft, og folkehelsepartnerskap. Men jeg forsker også på subjektive helseplager, psykososialt arbeidsmiljø, arbeidsdeltakelse og sykefravær, arbeidsrettet rehabilitering, helseteknologi og moderne helsebekymringer.
