Recipient of a Göran Gustafsson Prize for Young Researchers, 2018.

Funded by a Swedish Research Council Junior Researcher Project Grant for the period 2014-2017/18 with my project "Spectral theory of quantum systems with exotic symmetries".

During the spring 2013 I was a CARMIN postdoc visiting:
IHÉS, January - April, 2013.
IHP, April - July, 2013, for the trimester program Variational and Spectral
Methods in Quantum Mechanics
.

During the fall 2012 I was a postdoc at Institut Mittag-Leffler in the program Hamiltonians in Magnetic Fields.

During 2011-2012 I was an EPDI laureate visiting:
IHÉS, September - October, 2011.
FIM, ETH Zurich, November - December, 2011, and April - August, 2012.

Research interests
Mathematical physics, including: spectral theory of quantum mechanical systems (typically incolving supersymmetry - such as supermembrane matrix models, or exotic particle statistics - anyons), Clifford (geometric) algebras and their applications, quantum gravity and quantum geometry.
