About me

I am a professor at the Department of Mathematics at KTH, and a Wallenberg Academy Fellow. My research is supported by grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Göran Gustafsson Foundation. My primary research interests are algebraic combinatorics and positivity questions in various areas of mathematics.
