  • This is my new website. I am slowly transferring stuff from my old webpage . I used to use Hugo Academic, but the author made it unusable by constantly introducing breaking changes. Instead I am now using a theme by Davide Vega D'Aureli . Please email me if you find any broken links.

    I am a docent1 in computing science at the IT Department in the Computing Science Division (CSD).

    Most of my research is related to artificial intelligence and optimisation. See here for details of optimisation research at CSD.

    Together with Pierre Flener, I supervise the PhD student Frej Knutar Lewander. I also co-supervise Yi Zhao together with Di Yuan. My recently graduated PhD students include Gustav Björdal thesis, Maria Andreina Francisco Rodriguez, thesis, and Joseph Scott, thesis. Also Ghafour Ahani< who I co-supervised with Di Yuan successfully defended his thesis.

    My research interests include: Constraint Programming, Optimisation, Complexity theory, Software Testing, and Artificial Intelligence including Machine Learning. I am currently teaching Algorithms and Data Structures II (1DL231) and Introduction to Machine Learning for Bachelor Students (1DL034).

    I am currently responsible for coordinating the IT department’smentor programme for new employees.
