Hi, I'm PeO Hedvall
I am a researcher, teacher and speaker based in Lund, Sweden. I work as Director of CERTEC, Department of Design Sciences, Lund University and as a guest researcher at Mid Sweden University. My research deals with accessibility, participation, and universal design. To find some of what I have published, please see my research profile on ORCID.
This site, peohedvall.com, is my personal website. A place to tell about my work and reach out to people with similar interests. Currently, I'm exploring publishing videos on YouTube as a way to complement my more traditional scientific publishing. If you want to follow along on my journey and get updates when I post something new, please subscribe.
