About me
PhD Student in Survival Analysis (Mathematical Statistics) since October 2025. Supervised by Associate Professor Mathias Lindholm.
I hold an MSc in Actuarial Mathematics (2025) and two BScs in Mathematical Statistics (2023) and Mathematics (2024), all from Stockholm University, where I have been a student since 2020. I was previously an Amanuensis at the Department of Mathematics from 2023 to 2025.
Last updated: September 2, 2026
Autumn 2026: I will be responsible for the project module in the courses Inference and prediction for life and health processes (MT7052) and Non-life insurance pricing (MT7056).
I have previously worked on the courses Probability Theory I, Probability Theory II, Introduction to Data Processing, Statistical Data Processing, Introductory Course in Mathematics, Challenging Mathematics, and Risk Models and Valuation in Life and Disability Insurance.
My research focuses on how we can use different types of machine learning, primarily boosting and large language models, to model and predict life and health processes.
Mersenne primes
As a continuation of my bachelor’s thesis in mathematics, I investigate the primality of Mersenne numbers (numbers of the form 𝑀ₙ = 2ⁿ − 1 where 𝑛 is itself prime) through the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). The results are presented in the linked report pdf, 70.5 kB..
