Interests

Apart from being a PhD student, I enjoy reading literature and philosophy. I have a passion for movies and I consider myself a serious movie buff. I am very bad at playing chess, but I'd like to become a good chess player sometime in the future.

When I need to get a little bit of a rush in my veins, I would like to go out running around the Stockholm town.
