Docent in Mathematical Statistics

Research

Currently I mostly do research in financial and actuarial mathematics, and probability theory in general. I have previously worked on modelling biological processes. At the moment I work for Afa Insurance on strategic asset allocation, and asset and liability management. You can find some of my presentations on the latter subject below.

• Asset-Liability Management och Strategisk tillgångsallokering (18 MB), Stockholm University, Dept. Mathematics, 2023-12-15.
  
  
• Regulatory return targets, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Dept. Mathematics, 2015-05-11.
  
  
• Matematiskt statistik i praktiken: asset-liability management i ett försäkringsbolag. (My docent lecture/docentföreläsning). Stockholm University, Dept. Mathematics, 2010-11-10.
  
  
• Asset Liability Management in a Large Insurance Company, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Dept. Mathematics, 2010-05-17.

Supervision

I supervised Patrik Andersson who defended his doctoral thesis 26 August 2011.
