I am an assistant professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, specializing in cellular metabolism and computational biology. So I am a combined computer-math-biology nerd :) and I will (try to) be active in the math, computer and biology forums at StackExchange.

On my spare time I enjoy all sorts of music, and classic literature. I also do some volunteer math teaching for high school kids.
