About me

Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher at Department of Mathematics, Stockholm University. My research is focused on analyzing and developing numerical algorithms for solving partial differential equations that find applications in continental ice sheet modeling.

I hold a Ph.D. degree in Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis from Uppsala University, Sweden.

I previously held a position in industry where I worked as Sr. Software and Algorithm developer at Qamcom Research and Technology .
