About Me


Doctoral student in theoretical and computational astrophysics at the Laboratory for Galaxy Evolution and Spectral Modelling (GALSPEC), Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.

My research involve modelling and running numerical simulations of massive black hole gas accretion in idealised low-mass dwarf galaxies, and studying how this is regulated by AGN and stellar feedback processes. Overall, I'm interested in all things related to galaxy formation and evolution (particularly by using numerical simulations), especially at high redshift.

Originally from Älmhult, Sweden. Prior to my PhD I did my BSc and MSc at Lund University. In my free time, I like reading, being outdoors (collection of photos from some of my hikes), and especially running (list of races I have participated in).
