Short presentation
I am Professor in Scientific Computing at the Department of Information Technology.
I am Section Dean for the section of Mathematics and Computer Science since July 1 2023.
My research is concerned with aspects of scientific computing in finance and ice sheet modeling. Previously, my main research focus was in domain decomposition methods and fast solvers for PDEs.
I teach courses in scientific computing, mainly ones specialized on applications in finance.
