I am currently a postdoc at the University of Gothenburg. Starting from October 2024 I will be an associate senior lecturer at the University of Gothenburg supported by a starting grant from the Swedish Research Council.

I obtained my PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm under the supervision of Ari Laptev in June 2019. From 2019 to 2021 I was a postdoc with Rupert Frank at Caltech.

Research interests
Spectral theory of partial differential, pseudodifferential, and Fourier integral operators, asymptotic analysis, harmonic analysis, convex geometry, geometric measure theory, and mathematical physics. In particular shape optimization in spectral theory, spectral asymptotics, many-body quantum mechanics, and sharp spectral and geometric inequalities. You can read more about my research here.

Travel and events
Equadiff 2024, Karlstad University, Sweden. (June 10-14)
ECM 2024, Seville, Spain. (July 15-19)

Miscellaneous
Lorenzo Brasco, Erik Lindgren, and I will be organizing a minisymposia on functional inequalities and nonlinear PDEs as part of Equadiff 2024 at Karlstad University (June 10-14). Further information can be found on the conference website.

On the 18th of April 2021 Rupert Frank, Svetlana Jitomirskaya, and I organized a mini-conference in celebration of Barry Simon's 75th birthday. Further information can be found on the conference website.

Together with Rupert Frank, I organized the 38th Annual Western States Mathematical Physics Meeting which took place in February 2021. More information and slides for some of the talks can be found on the conference website.

During 2020 and 2021 I together with Terence Tao, José Ramón Madrid Padilla, and Rachel Greenfeld, organized the Caltech & UCLA joint analysis seminar. Abstracts and slides for most of the talks during this period can be found here.

In 2021 I was awarded the Sparre prize by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
