Institution/Department: Department of Mathematical Sciences
Previous studies: University of Gothenburg; Erwin Schrödinger ­Institut, Wienna; University of Wuppertal; Institut Mittag-Leffler, Stockholm; ­University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA.
Thesis: On residue currents and multivariable operator calculus.
Research areas: Complex Analysis, Complex Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Operator Theory.
Current research: Residue currents can be seen as analytic objects that ­describe geometric and algebraic objects. Roughly speaking, this means that curves and surfaces etc. can be studied using techniques from the theory of integrals and derivatives. My current research is mainly focused on using ­residue currents to solve a certain equation that is of fundamental importance in complex analysis. This is a well studied problem in many situations but residue currents make it possible to solve this equation in situations that could not be handled by previous techniques.
