I am a Senior Lecturer at Stockholm University in the department of Computational Biology, a position largely funded by SeRC and am also affiliated with Science for Life Laboratories and Stockholm Bioinformatics Center.

As of Feb 2012, I am the "prefekt" of dept of Numerical Analysis and Computer Science (Nada), at Stockholm University.

I act as vice programme director of a Master's Program in Computational and Systems Biology and am involved in the Erasmus Mundus Master's programme in Systems Biology.

My main research interests are computational problems in evolution and genomics.
