Om mig
Jag är biträdande lektor i beräkningsteknik med applikationer i klimatvetenskap. Min forskning handlar främst om hur numeriska metoder ska användas på bästa sätt i klimatmodeller. Mina specifika forskningsintressen inkluderar bland annat utveckling och analys av finita element metoder, inlandsismodellering, modell-adaptivitet, och mer nyligen havsmodellering och stokastiska processer. Jag har även intresse av perturbations-teori och radiella-basfunktion-metoder.
För en översiktlig introduktion om vad min forskning på beräkningsteknik inom inlandsismodellering handlar om, läs gärna denna populärvetenskapliga artikel i studentmagasinet XRDS: Crossroads, the ACM Magazine for Students.
Jag har tidigare arbetat som postdoktor vid matematiska institutionen på Christian-Albrechts-Universität i Kiel, Tyskland, och som doktorand vid IT-institutionen på Uppsala Universitet.
Undervisning
I vår kommer jag att undervisa programmeringsdelen av kursen Geometri och programmering för lärare i matematik
