Events

Nordstat2012 (The 24'th Nordic conference on Mathematical statistics, June 10-14 2012, Umeå)

Teaching 11/12 school year

This school year I lecture on
1. Analysis of categorial variables,  (und grad) 7.5 hp, Jan-Mar
2. Computer intensive statistical methods (und/post grad) 7.5 hp, Feb-April

Research interests

My research interests lie in applied probability models and statistical inference for such, in particular epidemic models, networks and applications towards genetics and molecular biology including phylogenetics.

Erdös number: 2

Editorial board member for Journal of Mathematical Biology

The math departments of Stockholm University and The Royal Institute of Technology together for the Stockholm Mathematcs Center (SMC)

I am a member S-GEM (Stockholm Group for Epidemic Modeling).

For further details on my research I refer to my list of publications and my CV.
