I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen , Denmark, and also have a part-time affiliation with the the Department of Computer Science at Lund University .

Prior to moving to Copenhagen and Lund, I worked at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as an assistant professor and then associate professor during the years 2011-2019. During 2008-2010 I was a postdoc at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted by Madhu Sudan . Before that I was a PhD student of Johan Håstad in the Theory Group at KTH, where I defended my PhD thesis in May 2008. Please see my biographic sketch for more information.
