Starting in July 2007 (and ending in June 2012), I am a research
assistant (Forskarassistent) in
mathematics (topological combinatorics), funded by the Swedish Research Council
("Vetenskapsrådet").

My application. Among the four "new
directions" listed in the research programme (Appendix A),
I have spent most time on the very
first one, i.e., analyzing the homology of simplicial
complexes using group actions.
Accepted paper containing some new results.
Besides doing research, I am also doing some teaching (33%). This
part is funded by KTH. My main responsibilities the present
academic year are SF1624 Algebra and Geometry
for the Mechanical Engineering program
and
a graduate course in topological combinatorics.
In 2005, I received my PhD degree from KTH. The subject of my thesis was topological combinatorics; follow this link for more information about my thesis, which was written under the supervision of Anders Björner. Before returning to KTH, I spent some time in Berlin at the Technical University of Berlin, in Stockholm/Djursholm at the Mittag-Leffler Institute, and in Cambridge, MA, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Until 2002, I worked as a cryptographer for three years at RSA Laboratories in Stockholm. As a consequence, I have been doing research not only in mathematics but also in cryptography.
Here is an extended CV, including accounts on research and teaching.
This is me (October 2008).
I suffer from deuteranomaly, which means that I am poor at discriminating small differences in hues in the red/orange/yellow/green region of the color spectrum. In this image, the two pictures look very similar to me. Depending on the screen, the ovals in the upper picture either are invisible to me or appear as a very faint glow.
