Hello, welcome to my personal website! I’m a PhD student at Chalmers University, Göteborg, working in the DCS research group. The point in this blog is to post about things that I’m working on that seem interesting. This will involve some computer sciencey stuff, and also lots of photography.
Presenting My Paper at Euro-Par 2025
<read more>
Last week I was in Dresden for Euro-Par 2025! I went to present my paper about speeding up neural network training with a new kind of parallel thread synchronisation scheme. It was the first time doing that since starting my PhD back in September 2023, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it was a really fun event. I even managed to sneakily record my own presentation (see below!)
Spring Birds in Göteborg
<read more>
It was a long winter and I’ve been looking forward to spring coming for a long time now, for the better weather and more interesting things to take photos of. Today and yesterday the weather was great (particularly today), so I went to Trädgårdsföreningen once again to find some birds. At some point, surely, I will have to find a new place, but there always seems to be interesting stuff happening here.
Winter Photos
<read more>
Photos For most of winter I haven’t been going out and taking any photos. It’s been too dark, and (almost) all the birds have migrated south.
Last weekend, however, I took a very short – five minute – train up to Jonsered, and got a few nice images.
A few photos with the Canon 80D

(Skip to photos of leaves, ducks, or trees?)
Recently I bought a new (used) camera, the Canon 80D. I used to use a Nikon D3300, but it disappeared while moving. Anyway, this new one is quite a bit nicer. The most noticeable differences for me are a far better live view mode (useful when I’m taking pictures at awkward angles) with a moveable touch screen (compared to the D3300’s static non-touch screen), more AF points when using the OVF, and a higher maximum frequency for taking photos.
A Card Game

This post explains the rules of a card game that I used to play at school with my friends. We called it Blackjack, although it’s not at all like the game usually called Blackjack.
