Teaching

During fall term of 2017 I will teach
SF1671 Baskurs i matematik Diskret för D-linjen and
SF2740 a master course in graph theory.
If you want to do a master thesis in combinatorics, you can contact me, see above. See also master in combinatorics.

- Conference for Donald Knuth 80 in Piteå.

- Jag har skrivit en reflektion om mina erfarenheter efter 3 år som ordförande för Vetenskapsrådets beredningsgrupp i matematik.

- Prime numbers on my bathroom wall!

Research

Research interests: Combinatorics, both pure and in relation with algebra, topology and probability. I enjoy when the problems arise in other fields such as biology, computer science and theoretical physics. Recently I have also been stimulated by mathematical questions coming from electoral systems.

- List of publications
- Combinatorics seminar at KTH
-The combinatorics group at KTH.

Matematik och demokrati (In Swedish): Papers I have written on electoral systems. In particular a presentation of why the method by Webster/ Sainte-Laguë (uddatalsmetoden), which is used for distributing seats in the Swedish parliament proportionally to the number of votes, is a reasonable method. Also papers to aid the "Valprövningsnämnd" in decisions on whether to have reelection or not after the 2010 elections in Sweden.

I am vice head of the division of mathematics at the department of mathematics at KTH.
I am member of program committee for AofA 2018 in Uppsala.
