About me

I received the M.Sc. in Engineering Physics at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, in 2004. My Master's Thesis is entitled "Graph Models of Infrastructures and the Robustness of Power Grids" and was completed at what is now the Division of Safety Research, KTH. I then joined the Division of Transport and Location Analysis, KTH, for a short project on the vulnerability of road networks together with Tom Petersen and Lars-Göran Mattsson.

From June 2005 to January 2006 I worked for the City of Stockholm with the evaluation of the Stockholm congestion pricing trials. My work concerned the measurements of traffic flows and travel times and involved organization, aggregation, statistical analysis and presentation of the data.

Since February 2006 I am back as a Ph.D. Candidate at the Division of Transport and Location Analysis, KTH. I am working in a new project concerning road network vulnerability analysis. Supervisor is Lars-Göran Mattsson and assistant supervisor is Katja Vourenmaa Berdica. The main aim of the project is to develop the methodology for vulnerability analyses with application to real large-scale road networks. The work so far has been presented in a number of papers and in my Licentiate Thesis from November 2007. During the summer of 2009 I visited University of Minnesota and took part of their studies of the I-35W bridge collapse in order to evaluate the delay costs of unplanned transport network disruptions.

Together with Åke J. Holmgren and Jonas Westin, I have done some work on modeling antagonistic attacks on critical infrastructures, and how to optimally defend the system under attack.

Research interests

My research interests include road network vulnerability, infrastructure vulnerability, transport reliability, complex networks and transport modeling.
