I am an assistant professor at the Division of Analysis and Probability at Chalmers University of Technology. Before this, I was a postdoctoral researcher in probability theory at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working with Fredrik Viklund and Jonatan Lenells. I finished my PhD at Chalmers University of Technology in 2019, working together with Jeffrey E. Steif.

Research interests
I am primarily interested in various topics within discrete probability theory. My current main interest is applying probabilistic methods to understand the properties of lattice gauge theories and related models. I am also interested in the relationship between various properties, such as the noise sensitivity, volatility, total incluence etc. of Boolean functions.
This is a simulation of a model resulting from a high temperature expansion of the abelian lattice Higgs model
This is a simulation of the Ising lattice Higgs model, using unitary gauge, in the low temperature regime
A sub-tree construction for Poisson representable tree-indexed Markov chains
Possible masters projects
