Short presentation

I am a Full Professor and head of the Quantum Matter Theory research program at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The work in my research group spans and combines several contemporary areas in modern physics, such as unconventional superconductivity, topological matter, and strongly correlated electron systems. Much of our current focus is on mechanisms and properties of unconventional, topological, or inhomogeneous superconductivity.

Biography

I received my Ph.D. in condensed matter theory in 2009 from Stanford University. I then spent 1.5 years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, NORDITA, in Stockholm, before moving to Uppsala, where I was promoted to Full Professor in 2017.

My research is supported by external grants from the

European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant 2022 and ERC Starting Grant 2017)
Swedish Research Council (VR Consolidator Grant 2022, VR project grant 2018, and VR starting grants 2014, 2010)
Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (Wallenberg Scholar 2024, Wallenberg Academy Fellow 2014 with prolongation 2019, KAW project grants (co-PI) 2024, 2019, 2013, and WISE)

Previous support from the Göran Gustafsson Foundation, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF), the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Prize Sweden, the Wenner-Gren Foundations, and the Carl Trygger Foundation are also gratefully acknowledged. Computational resources are provided by the National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden (NAISS), KAW, and Uppsala University.
