Background

I finished my PhD at Uppsala University in May 2002, and my thesis was about critical point theory. Since then I have been a postdoc at Institut Mittag-Leffler (Sweden), University of Toronto (Canada), University of Virginia (USA) and the University of Surrey (UK). 2007-2011 I was an assistant professor at Stockholm University, and since July 2011 I have been a senior lecturer at the same department.

Teaching

I am the head teacher in Ordinary Differential Equations. If you are a student and would like to write a degree project in differential equations, feel free to contact me.

During 2011 and 2012 I have no teaching apart from supervision of BSc and MSc theses.

Previous teaching

In the autumn of 2010 I was teaching Linear Analysis.
In the spring of 2010 I was teaching the course Ordinary Differential Equations.
In the autumn of 2009 I was teaching the course Linear Analysis.
I had no teaching during the academic year 2008--2009, when I was on maternity leave.
In the spring of 2008, I was teaching Analys L and Analys 2L.
During the spring 2007, I was teaching the course Ordinära differentialekvationer pk . Old exam papers with solutions can be found here.

Research

I work in the area of nonlinear analysis and partial differential equations. I use methods from functional analysis, ordinary differential equations and the calculus of variations. A new research interest is mathematical biology. I have received a research grant from Vinnova for a three year project in this area. See information from Vinnova's webpage.

Publications

Thesis

Critical Point Theory with Applications to Semilinear Problems Without Compactness. Uppsala Dissertations in Mathematics 23, Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University, 2002.
