I am a PhD student at the Department of Automatic Control at Lund University and in the WASP (Wallenberg AI, autonomous systems and software program) graduate school. My main supervisor is Pontus Giselsson, and my co-supervisor is Sebastian Banert. I joined the department in July 2020.
I have received an MSc in engineering physics (2020), an MSc in finance (2020), and a BSc in mathematics (2015), all from Lund University. I have also spent time as a student research visitor at UC Berkeley (2017) and ETH Zürich (2018).
My research interests are continuous optimization and its applications, e.g., machine learning, control, and finance. I currently focus on the design and performance analysis of first-order algorithms for convex optimization and monotone inclusion problems.
