I am currently 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 after which I was a postdoc at the University of Gothenburg until 2024.

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
Weyl Laws Across Mathematics, Brin Mathematics Research Center, University of Maryland, USA. (May 5-9, 2025)
Regularity Theory of PDEs and Calculus of Variations, the University of Essex, UK. (June 16-18, 2025)

Miscellaneous
Together with Jakob Björnberg and Eduard Vilalta I co-organize the Analysis and Probability seminar at Chalmers & Gothenburg University. For more information see the seminar webpage.

Magnus Goffeng, Ari Laptev, Alexander Pushnitski, Mikael Persson Sundkvist, and I are organizing a workshop on ‘Spectral analysis of quantum Hamiltonians’, at the Mittag-Leffler institute. (June 26-30, 2025)
