PhD Course Probability & Statistics
Together with Shaobo Jin, we are teaching the PhD course in Probability and Statistics this Spring Semester 2025. Basic information about the course will be collected here. See below for practical information.
I am an Associate Professor (Universitetslektor) working at Uppsala University and holder of the title of docent (Finnish: dosentti, equivalent to habilitation). I am interested in interactions between various aspects of pure mathematics, focussing on dimension theory, random geometry, and dynamical systems.
Previously, I was holder of the Horizons Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action European Fellowship (MSCA-EF) “Dimension and Dynamics” working at the University of Oulu (Finland) and FWF Lise Meitner Senior Fellow at the University of Vienna (Austria). I was also at the University of Waterloo (Canada) for a postdoc fellowship and completed my doctorate at the University of St Andrews (Scotland) under the supervision of Kenneth Falconer and Mike Todd.
Below are the most recent pages that I added to this webpage. They may take the form of articles or news items. A full list of either can be found on the News tab.

From 9–24 November 2024, I taught at the National Higher School of Mathematics (NHSM) in Algiers, Algeria as part of the International Mathematics Masters Programme (IMM)1. Over the course of two weeks, I taught part of the “Advanced Probability” module, focusing on martingales and branching processes.
My article Minkowski weak embedding theorem1 with Stathis Chrontsios-Garitsis just got accepted at HJM, so it’s high time that I write a short summary.
The two sentence version: The Assouad embedding theorem loosely states that any metric space with finite Assouad dimension can be embedded into $\mathbb{R}^n$ without too much distortion. The Minkowski (or box-counting) dimension is smaller than the Assouad dimension and we show that an analogue of the Assouad embedding theorem still holds if one replaces the assumption of finite Assouad dimension with the weaker assumption of finite Minkowski dimension.
I am excited to announce that I will be teaching at the International Mathematical Master (IMM) programme in Algeria for two weeks during Autumn 2024. The IMM aims to promote mathematical excellence by providing high-quality education through a two-year Master’s programme. It focuses on fundamental and core mathematical topics, preparing students for competitive PhD programmes worldwide.
I am excited to announce that from September 2024, I am joining the Department of Mathematics at Uppsala University as Associate Professor (Universitetslektor) with specialisation in Probability Theory. I will be working in the research group in Probability Theory and Combinatorics.
The move follows at the end of my tenure as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the University of Oulu. After two years of living in the arctic, I am looking forward to moving south and working on my tan again.
