My (former) academic page
In early 2019 I left academia for a job in the industry in the Stockholm area, where I live with my family. I currently focus on machine learning techniques in the field of medical imaging for cancer treatment. Although now I’m busy with other things, I’m still very happy to talk about math, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
I do research in computational discrete geometry. I use algorithms, AI and computer assisted proofs to answer questions in pure mathematics coming from combinatorics, commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.
News
I wrote a paper! Comments are welcome.
