I am interested in statistical inference for stochastic modelling, and especially Bayesian computational methods. For example, I am interested in MCMC, sequential Monte Carlo (particle filters) and especially “likelihood-free” methods, such as approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). I have special interest in stochastic modelling (e.g. stochastic differential equations) and applications in biomedicine.

​• Ongoing cooperation with Prof. Kresten Lindorff-Larsen (University of Copenhagen), Assoc. Prof. Julie Lyng Forman (University of Copenhagen) and PhD student Samuel Wiqvist (Lund University) on the VR funded project “Statistical inference and stochastic modelling of protein folding” (2013-5167).
