Research

My research in formal methods involves calculi for mobile processes.

I am the Ph.D. co-advisor of Ramunas Gutkovas, Palle Raabjerg, Johannes Åman Pohjola and Frédéric Haziza. I was the advisor of Magnus Johansson (graduated May 2010) and Kidane Yemane (graduated January 2006), and the co-advisor of Jesper Bengtsson (graduated June 2010).

I run projects in ProFun, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research 2009-2013, and in UPMARC, a Linnaeus centre funded 2008-2017. I am a member of the Management Committee of BETTY (Behavioural Types for Reliable Large-Scale Software Systems), an EU-funded COST Action 2012-2015.

I have a list of selected papers and a brief CV available.

Teaching

I teach secure computer systems, technical writing and presentation skills, and have taught operating systems, computer networks (also at advanced level), and cryptography.
