August 2025: Finally, after 9 long years of not touching it, I am now giving this webpage a much-needed update! Who knows when I will get around to it again, and for that reason I have opted for a major cutdown and cleanup.

I completed my PhD in mathematical statistics in 1994 and became a professor of the same subject in 2000, first at the University of Gothenburg and later transitioned to Chalmers. My academic and research career up to now can roughly be divided in two phases, where...

It's hard to pinpoint an exact year when the transition to the second phase took place, but it mostly happened in the early 2010s. Starting around 2020 or so, my focus has mostly zoomed in on the technology that has increasingly begun to look like the uniquely important determinant of our future, namely AI.

While I hardly do pure mathematics at all anymore, there is much from the first phase that I think back fondly upon. Regarding my publications (see Google Scholar for a more extensive list) from those good old days, here is a small sample of those I'm especially happy with and that can serve as a starting point for a beginner wishing to understand the kind of math I was up to:

My papers produced during the second phase tend to have a very different character. Here are a few of them: Those are some of my papers. In addition, I've authored five books, the set of which spans both phases of my career: If you want to catch up with what occupies me most at present, the best way may be to check my blog Häggström hävdar.
