As scientific theory and research methodology are the areas of my expertise, during the years, I have been consulted by number of PhD students and helped in questions of method and scientific approach (Rikard Land, Christina Vallin, Magnus Larsson, Stig Larsson, Carina Andersson, Shahina Begum). Especially with those PhD students who included ethical aspect into their dissertations I discussed extensively. In spite of the fact that my role never was formalized, my experiences in effective supervising is extensive. Currently I co-supervise one PhD student, Daniel Kade.
