Biography

Since 2016 I'm a lecturer at Malmö University.


Hi! I'm a PhD student in the Graphics Group at Lund University, located in beautiful Skåne, Sweden. I started my PhD studies in late 2009 and have since made research primarily on high-dimensional rendering techniques, such as analytical motion blur and spatial line sampling. This is an exciting topic because high-order techniques, though challenging to formulate and implement, are very effective at solving the elusive, holy grail of graphics -- the rendering equation.


I received my M. Sc. in Engineering Physics (Teknisk Fysik) from Lund University - Faculty of Engineering in 2009. Click here to take a virtual tour of the campus.


I live with my wife and two kids in the small village of Hjärup, within biking-distance from Lund and Malmö. The greatest attraction around here is a rune stone from the Viking age!

Master's Thesis

In my Master's thesis I derived and implemented the equations of motion for a constrained system of 2D rigid bodies. In a constrained system of bodies, unlike a “free” system, bodies may be in complex contact (like stacks) or connected through kinematic joints (like hinges and actuators). This kind of system is categorized as a differential algebraic equation (DAE), which was solved using Gauss-Seidel iteration. The overall theoretical background is similar to that of Erin Catto's popular 2D physics engine Box2D, used e.g. in Angry Birds.
