Biography

I am an universitetslektor (associate professor with tenure) in the numerical analysis group of the department of mathematics, KTH, Stockholm. My research is focused on numerical analysis, numerical linear algebra, matrix computations, and scientific computing. I work with applications from various fields in science and technology, in particular, systems and control, acoustics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry.
