Olof Bergvall

I am an associate professor (docent) of mathematics at Mälardalen University. Before starting at MDU I was an associate professor at the University of Gävle. Before that I had post doc positions at Uppsala University and at Humboldt University in Berlin and a temporary lectureship at Stockholm University.

I received my PhD from Stockholm University in 2016. My advisors were Carel Faber and Jonas Bergström. I did my undergraduate studies at the Engineering Physics programme at KTH, Stockholm.

The core of my research is in cohomology of moduli spaces of curves, surfaces and abelian varieties but I also sometimes think about arrangements, in particular arrangements of tori.

I have constructed quite a bit of teaching material - e.g. several sets of lecture notes, interactive articles and YouTube lecture series. I have also written a book on algebraic geometry. This book is not intended for publication, at least not for the time being. If you are interested in it (or parts of it) for teaching I would be happy to share tex-files in case you want to make adjustments depending on your tastes or purposes.

I was previously the project manager for the project "Education for everyone" which is developing two engineering programs (Environmental engineering and Energy systems engineering) to be taught entirely remotely, including laboratory work. I was also a member of the Centre for Educational Development at the University of Gävle.
