Picture of me

Who?

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University.

My main research interests lie in a mixture of harmonic analysis, probability, combinatorics, and number theory.

Education-wise, I am interested in making concepts tangible and hands-on.

Web polling with math

Dogl has made a free tool for creating LaTeX-friendly web polls and quizzes called Dogl MathMeter. It's super easy and quick to use, and is perfect for running in-class polls that involve math.

Dogl Calculus

I've helped make a mobile app, Dogl Calculus, that aims to make it easier for Calculus students to keep their problem solving skills fresh. The problems should be pedagogically sound, and let you practise wherever you are!

Public engagement

Have fun and understand stuff with interactive tools! The text is in Swedish, but the ideas universal. Unfortunately these are not yet fully self-contained, and might not work terribly well on mobile phones, but they will hopefully make sense to you if you attended one of my public lectures or the teacher development day Kleinerdagen at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (KVA). If you want any of the other materials we used, please email me!

Want to study the emergence of a giant puddle in the random raindrop model? Here's a visualisation. (Puddles merge according to their barycentres.)
