My area of research is Scientific computing, a multidisciplinary field in which the use of computational models to capture and understand various aspects of reality is investigated. The subject encompasses mathematical modelling in various applications as well as the development and analysis of computing methodologies at broad. Also studied is how to implement methods efficiently and how to handle experimental data. I have taken an interest in computational modelling in Cell biology, epidemiology, and Structural biology, but have also developed computational methods for Microfluidics, Micromagnetism and Fluid mechanics.
A common denominator for many of the applications I have worked with is the fact that one uses randomness in the modelling. This is done to capture the effect of those parts of reality not easily modelled by more traditional means.
Born: 1976
Family: Married to Märta Cullhed Engblom (midwife), four children: Miriam b. 04, David b. 06, Sofia b. 08 och Martin b. 12.
Interests: When time allows I enjoy dancing Argentinian tango, working out with kettlebells and listening to classical music. All of the above in different combinations!
In the Young Academy of Sweden, I hope to particularly engage in issues related to the evaluation of science. I am involved in several interdisciplinary research projects myself and therefore call for better interdisciplinary calls and evaluation processes! I am also interested in gender equality issues in combination with the above. Researchers should be assessed for what they have to offer as scientists, rather than what they have given up as individuals. Lastly, I naturally appreciate the opportunity to continuously meet and be inspired by researchers with different backgrounds and insights.
