Joakim Frostegård

Hi, I'm Joakim. Nice to meet you!

I am a research assistant in Olga Perski's research group, working on the Time Matters project, which aims to develop just-in-time adaptive interventions for addictions. Previously, I worked in Agneta Herlitz' group, focusing on investigating psychological sex differences and occupational sorting. Additionally, I have a long-standing involvement as a software developer in John Axelsson's group.

I hold a M.Sc. in Psychology (Psykologexamen) from Karolinska Institutet.
