Background

MSc KTH Royal Institute of Technology 2000, PhD ETH Swiss Federal Institute of Technology 2004, Assistant/associate professor at the division of mathematical statistics at KTH 2004-2015, director of studies in financial mathematics at KTH 2009-2015, director of the master's program Applied and Computational Mathematics at KTH 2012-2015, director of the master's program Actuarial Mathematics at SU since 2016, professor of insurance mathematics at Stockholm University since 2015, head of the division Mathematical Statistics since 2018. Editor of Scandinavian Actuarial Journal since 2018.


Teaching

I have given courses in financial mathematics, portfolio theory, quantitative risk management, non-life insurance mathematics, non-life insurance pricing, time series analysis, regression analysis and probability theory. I have co-authored the book Risk and Portfolio Analysis: Principles and Methods which combines useful practical insights with rigorous yet elementary mathematics, and is intended for undergraduate engineering or mathematics students.


Insurance Data Science Conference

The 11th edition of the conference will be held in Stockholm 17-18 June 2024. See the conference webpage for more information.


Research
