Assoc. prof. in mathematics at Chalmers/University of Gothenburg. Mainly probability, analysis and computational methods, but I like to visit most areas of mathematics. Elected member Young Academy of Sweden. Mostly here for the science, some for the jokes
The upside of giving talks (yeah, yeah, dissemination, collaboration etc.): 7 years later, I finally have my own CASA mug!

Donning the gown and beret of @tudelfteemcs.bsky.social for today's PhD defence by Serena Della Corte (here together with her supervisor Richard Kraaij). Really nice thesis and wonderful defence on PDEs, HJB equations and large deviations.

Re-reading this gem more than a decade after the first time. Great for beginning students as the similarities with,

And we’re off! Great start but as usual too many interesting talks/sessions. And, of course, the heat. But, first world problems and all that…

Even managed to get a picture of four generations of the academic tree. Lots of large deviations and control-ish work in one photo.

And with that, we welcome Federica to the PhD family! A wonderful defence steered in a fantastic way by Christophe Andrieu as opponent and w. Sigrid Källblad from KTH as chair.

It happens every time and yet I seem to forget between visits: coming to Brown and talking to the people here gives me such a boost of ideas and new problems to work on. Cannot overstate the influence this place has had for me.

Downside to having 400 students in your class? 400 exams to grade... Took over the home office for a good couple of weeks.
