PhD Student Position

PhD Position: Mathematics AI for Topology-Correct 3D City Reconstruction I’m recruiting a PhD student to join my group at the Digital Twin Cities Centre (DTCC), working on how to reconstruct analysis-ready, topology-correct 3D city models from multi-modal geospatial data. A lot of current “3D city modeling” looks good visually, but breaks down the moment [ ]

Freelap vs. Video Timing for 10 m Block Starts

I’ve been using a Freelap setup for short sprint splits in training, and I kept noticing the same pattern: my Freelap 10 m times looked about a tenth of a second slower than times estimated from video. Rather than guessing, I ran a small field test to quantify the difference. What I tested I compared [ ]

BOOK IV in print

We are thrilled to announce that the fourth and final analysis volume in our series Matematisk analys linjär algebra (Mathematical Analysis Linear Algebra) is now in print and shipping to bookstores! The book is co-authored with my colleagues Stig Larsson and Axel Målqvist. Its full Swedish title is Flervariabelanalys och partiella differentialekvationer. A [ ]

Book II in PRINT

Part II of our book series Matematisk analys linjär algebra (Mathematical analysis linear algebra) is now available in book stores (and has been for some time). It s great to finally see the book in the book store after long and hard work! The book is co-written with my colleagues Stig Larsson and Axel Målqvist. The title [ ]

Modelling and Simulating Cities with Digital Twins

In a new paper with my colleague Vasilis Naserentin, Modeling and Simulating Cities with Digital Twins, we present an overview of our lessons learned so far in building digital twins of cities based on mathematical modeling and simulation at the Digital Twin Cities Centre. We propose the following definition of what constitutes a Digital Twin: [ ]

PhD student position

The Division of Applied Mathematics and Statistics at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers are recruiting a doctoral student. The deadline is February 25 2022. See full advertisement for details. The selected student is free to choose their own subject of interest and one exciting opportunity is to work with us at the Digital [ ]

Manuscript submitted

After 7 years in the making, I have today submitted the final (I hope) manuscript for the book I have been working on with my two colleagues Stig Larsson and Axel Målqvist. The book is the first part in the series Analys linjär algebra. The book series will be published by Studentlitteratur and if [ ]

Master thesis projects

We are looking for talented and motivated students to work with the VirtualCity@Chalmers team. Several thesis projects are available, ranging from game programming (Unreal Engine) to modeling and simulation. We offer a great opportunity to work in a cutting-edge research project and combine state-of-the-art technologies with fundamental computational methods. Depending on external funding the…

Mixed Reality Building Information Modeling

Over the past couple of months I have explored an exciting innovation project in close collaboration with Chalmers Ventures, Sweco and Akademiska Hus. As part of the project I have programmed a holographic BIM (Building Information Model) viewer for the Microsoft HoloLens. Our application HoloSpace allows a user to walk around in a building and, using the [ ]

Cosmic strings and black holes

In the new paper Cosmic String and Black Hole Limits of Toroidal Vlasov Bodies in General Relativity by Ames, Andréasson and Logg, we study numerical solutions of the Einstein-Vlasov system modeling a self-gravitating system such as a galaxy. The model is constructed by taking the Einstein field equations of general relativity, and modeling the right-hand side [ ]
