About me

Welcome to my homepage!

I am an Associate Senior Lecturer (biträdande universitetslektor) at Lund Observatory at Lund University in Sweden. Here I work on topics such as planet formation, accretion discs, turbulence, and supercomputing.

I finished my PhD in 2007 at Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg. After that I spent a bit more than two years as a postdoc at Leiden Observatory.

Research

Online material

My research focuses on computer simulations of planet formation. I am especially interested in the dynamics of dust particles in turbulent protoplanetary discs. This is relevant for the formation of planetesimals and protoplanets, the first steps on the way to real planets.

You can read more about my research interests here.

I am a co-developer of the Pencil Code, a high order finite difference magnetohydrodynamics code that is highly modular and versatile.

I have a list of possible student projects here. Please contact me for details.

Today's quote

[Burns finds Homer eating a sandwich in his ultra-secure, microbe-free
chamber]
Burns: Who the devil are you?
Homer's brain: Don't panic, just come up with a good story.
Homer: My name is Mr. Burns.
Homer's brain: D'oh!
