Albin Ahlbäck

I am a PhD student in the MAX team at École Polytechnique under Joris van der Hoeven and Fredrik Johansson.

My research interests concern straight line programs, mainly focused on extreme performance of multiple-precision arithmetic. In particular, specialized code for different hardware is a big interest of mine.

Consequently, I am interested in mathematical software. I am a co-maintainer of FLINT, and have contributed some to other projects, mainly to the OSCAR project.

I very much enjoy typesetting in LaTeX and all the programming that comes along with it. My preferred font is Fourier.

Publications

  1. Fast basecases for arbitrary-size multiplication
    With Fredrik Johansson. [HAL]

  2. Eichler integrals and generalized second order Eisenstein series

Mathematical software

  1. FLINT
    I am a co-maintainer of the high-performant C library FLINT for polynomial arithmetic, exact linear algebra, rigorous ball arithmetic, special functions, …, used in a lot of mathematical software such as Sage, OSCAR, msolve and Macaulay2.

  2. ModularForms.jl
    A Julia-package for computing modular forms, developed with Tobias Magnusson and Martin Raum. Relies on the Julia packages AbstractAlgebra.jl, Nemo.jl and Hecke.jl.

Teaching

At Chalmers, I have taught several courses as a teaching assistant. Here is a list of the subjects I have taught, most of which also includes computational parts:
