Objectives
I am an instructor of advanced courses with experience in course development for difficult and new IT technologies. I have worked as a contractor since 1988 at different universities and corporations in Sweden.
I have been in charge of courses on introduction to computing, databases, data communications and programming, even for very large classes at the Lund University, Royal Institute of Technology, Mid Sweden University and Kristianstad University.
I have developed several courses on these subjects.
My scientific contributions are in the area of program development and algorithms, especially for algebraic complexity problems as multiplication and matrix multiplication, which are applied in digital signal processing issues.
