News

• The Theory Group at KTH is organizing the Swedish Summer School in Computer Science from June 29 to July 5, 2014, with Boaz Barak and Ryan O'Donnell as lecturers. The application deadline is March 30.
• I am an invited speaker at the 17th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT '14) and at the Proof Complexity 2014 workshop affiliated with the Federated Logic Conference in Vienna in July 2014.
• I was the the coordinating organizer for the workshop Theoretical Foundations of Applied SAT Solving held at the Banff International Research Station January 19-24, 2014 (see video of all presentations and a Communications of the ACM editorial about the workshop).
• I will also be coordinating a seminar week on the Theory and Practice of SAT Solving at Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics in April 2015.

Professional activities

I am an Assistant Professor in the Theoretical Computer Science Group at the School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.

During the academic years 2008-09 and 2009-10, I was a postdoc at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted by Madhu Sudan.

Prior to that I was a PhD student of Johan Håstad in the Theory Group at KTH CSC, where I defended my PhD thesis in May 2008. For those who would prefer not to read the whole thesis there are instead [in Swedish only] a short popular science summary and a slightly longer popular science overview of my research.

During my doctoral studies at KTH, apart from doing some teaching I was also the President of the Postgraduate Students' Council (doktorandrådet) at KTH CSC and the postgraduate student representative in the School Board (skolstyrelsen) and the Executive Group (ledningsgruppen) of KTH CSC. I also organized the informal PhD student seminars in Theoretical Computer Science.
