Research Proects

Algorithms and software for multicore architectures, topology aware MPI communications and scalable checkpointing techniques. I have had experince in Robotics, Data Mining and Factorization Algorithms.

Interests

Originally from Sweden and a Captain in the Army there for many years, life here has been a change. I have discovered that I love the mountains and many of the natural resources Wyoming and Colorado holds and find the area beautiful. When I am not hunched over the books or staring at my computer, I enjoy history, philosophy, and a good whodunnit, sailing in any of the lakes, visiting Yellowstone or just relaxing on the mountain.
