Research

My field of research is homogenization. Homogenization is the branch of mathematics where partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients are studied. Besides pure mathematical problems I have also worked with different applications, mostly within tribology, composite engineering and flow in porous media.

Current assignments at LTU

Head of the department of Mathematical sciences (mathematics, mathematical statistics and scientific computing)
