About my position

Starting in July 2007, I am a research assistant ("Forskarassistent") in Applied 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 spent most of my first year focusing on the very first one, i.e., analyzing the homology of the matching complex using group actions. Abstract of preprint containing some new results.

Besides doing research, I am also doing some teaching (30%). This part is funded by KTH. My main responsibility this academic year is Tillämpad kombinatorik (Applied Combinatorics), which I will give in the spring of 2009.

About me

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 my CV with some more details (not completely up to date).

On this page, you can find some personal information about me (external site).

This is me (October 2008).
