Professor’s portrait: From hobby to career

It started as a hobby and developed into an academic career with many projects and collaborations. Having worked with organisations such as Trafikverket and AstraZeneca, done research and taught on several levels, Ying Fu keeps coming back to one thing: his field of expertise is also his greatest interest, so he is practically getting paid to do what he loves!
