Sara is an industrial PhD candidate at Sweden Water Research and NSVA through Lund University. Her research focuses on climate adaptation of urban stormwater systems in coastal cities, with particular emphasis on the interaction between sewer networks and rising sea levels.

Sara holds a Master of Science in Engineering in Ecosystem Technology from the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, with a focus on water resources management. Early on, she developed a strong interest in urban stormwater and, during her studies, worked on VA SYD’s initiative Building flood recilience – together, where she authored a report for VA-Teknik Södra.
