Hi there, I'm a Theoretical Particle Physics Researcher, Lecturer and Software Developer in the Department of
Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, High Energy Physics Division, at
Lund University in Lund, Sweden.
If you have stumbled onto
this page by accident, here are the latest and greatest pictures of
puppies.
Associate Senior Lecturer (Lund, 2018-present)
Staff Scientist (Fermilab, 2016-2018)
Research Associate (SLAC, 2014-2016; DESY 2013-2014)
PhD in theoretical physics (Lund, 2009-2013)
10+ years of programming experience in C++ and Fortran (yes, I know...), 3+ years of prototyping experience in Python. Here's a short CV.
As a reasearcher and software developer, I've worked on particle collider simulations. Here's a low-activity scattering event...
... and a selection of software projects that I've worked on...
Discrete QCD is an unconvential approach to simulate the energy evolution of particles, that can even run on quantum computers ( arxiv preprint). Python/JAX/Qiskit code base. Project leader since 2022.
Pythia is one of (if not) the most successful software to simulate scattering events at high-energy particle colliders. C++ code base. Developer since 2013.
Dire is an extension of Pythia aiming to crack down on the uncertainties of the simulation. Developed in parallel with an extension to Sherpa , and the only example of X in the Monte-Carlo community. C++ code base. Project leader since 2015.
Vincia is a "competitor" to Dire, developed as extension to Pythia. C++ code base. Joint research projects since 2016.
Sherpa is a highly successful software for precision simulation of scattering events. C++ code base. Joint research projects since 2014.
Madgraph/aMC@NLO is a precision transition probability generator for high-energy physics. Fortran code base. Joint research projects and code contributor since 2013.
MCplots is a volunteer cloud-computing web resource to compare scattering simulations to scattering data. Bash and PHP code base. Developer 2011-2012.
TMDlib is a software library for three-dimensional probability densities of hadron constituents. C++ code base. Consultant since 2019.
Teaching and working with young researchers is always great! Check out my latest tutorials and summer school lectures on youtube...
