Dirk,
I don't think she will contribute much to the Heruls in Sweden.

Here are her areas of interest

Research Interests

I specialise in Old Norse language and literature, and have a 
particular interest in literary sources for Viking history, and in 
runology. I work mainly on skaldic poetry and runic inscriptions from 
the period 800-1300, and on historical sagas. I am also:

Joint Honorary Secretary of the Viking Society for Northern Research
Director of the Centre for the Study of the Viking Age, University of 
Nottingham
Contributing Editor, Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages.
