Jenny Enerbäck
PhD student at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
I am a Phd student working on singular eigenvalue problems under the supervision of Andrii Dmytryshyn. These problems arise in various fields, including control theory, and have significant theoretical and practical relevance. I completed my M. Sc. in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering at Linköping University, specializing in Engineering Mathematics.

Edvin Martinson
PhD student at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
My research is within mathematical physics and general relativity. Specifically, I am interested in properties of solutions to the Einstein field equations with different matter models, such as the Vlasov or Dirac models, which originate in kinetic and quantum theory respectively. In my master thesis, I investigated cosmic censorship in the Einstein-Vlasov system and I hope to continue this work during my PhD.

Lucas Kersten
PhD student at the Division of Analysis and Probability Theory
I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Simon Larson in the area of spectral theory of differential operators. My research interests include the use of analytical tools, such as PDEs, Fourier analysis, and variational methods, to study how spectral properties of operators relate to various underlying attributes. I obtained my Master's degree in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from LMU Munich and TUM where I investigated the spectrum of an electromagnetic Schrödinger operator.

Emma Axelsson
Junior Project Manager, Akelius Math Learning Lab
As a junior project manager in charity and education, I run projects in Sweden and develop collaborations with non-profit organisations and external actors. With my previous experiences of project management roles in change work I hope to contribute to projects that make a defference.

Patrik Nordqvist
Akelius Math Learning Lab
After many years as a mathematics teacher, I am curious about how to do reduce the tresholds in the pupils' learning process, to find those obstacles that make many lose interest somewhere along the way, and to level them out. Together with the rest of the team I hope to use my experiences and thoughts to develop a teaching material for children and youth where you take small steps at a time. It feels inspiring and important.

Longde Huang
PhD student at the Division of Algebra and Geometry
My current research interests focus on equivariant neural networks, particularly on the trade-off between achieving equivariance through data augmentation and through manifestly equivariant architectures.

Fixed-term teacher at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics

Gabriel Abánades
PhD student at the Division of Algebra and Geometry
I am a PhD student woeking with Prof. Eriksson and Prof. Johansson. I am broadly interested in algebraic geometry, specially in the interplay of arithmetic techniques and complex geometry. I like using tools from homological algebra to study geometric problems. More precisely I have been thinking about Polarized Variatios of Hodge Structures and how they can help us understand a degenerating family of varieties.

Cinja Arndt
PhD student at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Pierre Nyquist. My research focuses on simulation-related problems using tools from large deviations, stochastic processes and PDEs.

Frida Säterö
Study Administrator (substitute), Operations Support
My name is Frida Säterö, and I will substitute for Elin Bergström as a study administrator here at the department. I have previously worked at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, where I held the same position.

Georg Kyhn
PhD student at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
My research interests include partial differential equations, inverse problems and numerical integration. My PhD project will focuse on developing globally convergent iterative methods for solving coefficient inverse problems. Such algorithms can be used, in particular, for the reconstruction of the electric permittivity and permeability of tissue in order to detect malignant melanoma.

André Lasses Armatowski
PhD student at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
My research interests include both development and application of statistical models, machine learning, and AI to solve large-scale and complex decision problems.
Start date: June 16, 2025
Fabio Francesconi
PhD student at the Division of Analysis and Probability Theory
My research focuses on geometric analysis and partial differential equations, with particular emphasis on spectral geometry, and geometric invariants. I’m also interested in Q-curvature and in the analytical and geometric structures that arise in conformal geometry, as well as in applications of geometric analysis to both mathematics and physics.
Start date: June 9, 2025
Eugen Bronasco
Postdoctor at the Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics
I am interested in numerical integrators for ordinary and stochastic differential equations (ODEs and SDEs), as well as in sampling the invariant measure of Langevin dynamics. My focus lies in the combinatorial and algebraic structures underlying these methods. In particular, I study the algebraic structures of Butcher series, including the associated Hopf and pre-Lie algebras on trees.

Simon Leo Rydin Myerson
Assistant Professor at the Division of Algebra and Geometry
My research is in analytic number theory and harmonic analysis. I am particularly interested in Diophantine equations, and in the application of ideas from number theory to the analysis of PDE. I work especially with the circle method, exponential sums, real analysis, and elementary methods. Sometimes I can add a pinch of decoupling, sieve theory or algebraic geometry.
Before joining Chalmers I was a Warwick Zeeman Lecturer at the University of Warwick.

Siri Tinghammar Jönsson
PhD student at the Division of Analysis and Probability Theory
Start date: April 22, 2025
David Olsson
PhD student at the Division of Analysis and Probability Theory
My PhD project concerns integrable systems, which are certain dynamical systems that are analytically solvable due to their high degree of symmetry. They are, for example, used to describe the quantum harmonic oscillator, the two-body problem, as well as the interaction between stable wave packets known as solitons. Under the supervision of Martin Hallnäs, I will study integrable many-particle systems of Calogero-Moser type.
Before enrolling as a PhD student at Chalmers I studied physics and mathematics at the University of Gothenburg. In my master’s thesis I examined so called quaternionic modular forms through the lens of Eisenstein series on the Lie group SU(2,1).

Mizanur Rahaman
Assistant Professor at the Division of Analysis and Probability Theory
My research is broadly based on the mathematical foundation of Quantum Information Theory (QIT) and focuses on applying ideas from operator algebras and functional analysis to explore fundamental concepts in quantum theory such as quantum nonlocality, entanglement theory, Shannon theory, and Quantum Markov Semigroups.
Before joining Chalmers, I was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at ENS de Lyon, France. I obtained my Ph.D at the University of Regina, Canada and worked as a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo where I was an affiliated member at the Institute for Quantum Computing.
