Currently, I am studying the masters programme in Applied and Computaitonal Mathematics at KTH. Recently, I graduated from the 5-year programme in Masters of Science in Engineering (Swedish: Civilingenjör) in Materials Science and Engineering, with a Masters of Science in Engineering Mechanics, having followed the track in Solid Mechanics.

During my time at KTH I have had the pleasure of working as a Teaching Assistant at the Department of Mathematics, teaching courses in calculus, linear algebra, differential equations and transform theory. Notes (in Swedish) for some of these courses can be found under the tab Mathematics resources.

In my free time I enjoy playing golf, watching nature documentaries with my cats, spending obscene amounts of money on tea, and studying more abstract mathematics than the kind I usually encounter as an engineer.

Before moving to Stockholm I grew up in Uddevalla, where I played handball for GF Kroppskultur and golf at Lyckorna GK. I attended Uddevalla gymnasieskola reading the programme in engineering sciences (Swedish: teknikvetenskap).
