Projects
OptiFun: Optimising fusion with generative programming
The aim of this project is to combine numeric and symbolic methods to accelerate first-principles simulations and enable optimisation of fusion confinement designs. PIs: Tünde Fülöp (Physics) and Patrik Jansson (CSE) 2022-2023
GRACeFUL: Global systems Rapid Assessment tools through Constraint FUnctional Languages
I was site- and workpackage leader in the EU-project (GRACeFUL, 2015-18) granted from the FETPROACT1 call with a budget of 2.4M EUR over three years.
DSLsofMath: Domain-Specific Languages of Mathematics
The project has resulted in a BSc level course, a textbook, a GitHub repository and a few other publications.

Agda-ventures with PolyP
For the academic celebration of Prof. Johan Jeuring's 60:th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the PolyP generic programming framework, Jeremy Gibbons and I revisited the PolyP ideas in a dependently typed (Agda) setting. The result is our paper: Ag...

Talk: Domain-specific tensor languages
Today I presented "Domain-specific tensor languages" at ICFP in Singapore. The talk was recorded and will appear when the post-conference processing is done. Until then, here are the Slides and an earlier (longer, thus different) youtube talk about the...

Optimization under uncertainty
A new preprint is now up on arXiv dealing with opimization under uncertainty (Nicola Botta, Patrik Jansson, Tim Richter) PDF: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.18561 Link: arXiv:2503.18561 Abstract: One of the most ubiquitous problems in optimization is that of fi... (Link)

Exploring level-p-complexity for subclasses of Boolean functions
In their MSc thesis [1], Arvid Rydberg and Selina Sand Engberg explored the complexity of Boolean functions (functions from n bits to one bit). Measuring their evaluation cost, especially using the probabilistic level-p-complexity (D_p(f)), is an inte... (Link)

Theories and Tools for Climate Policy Exploration
I've just submitted a grant proposal about "Theories and Tools for Climate Policy Exploration" to FORMAS (a government research council for sustainable development). If funded, it would mean a team consisting of me, Nicola Botta, a post-doc, and two st...

Courses
Domain-Specific Languages of Mathematics
BSc level course Domain-Specific Languages of Mathematics (course code DAT326 at Chalmers and DIT982 at UGOT).
BSc projects on "DSLsofMath for other courses"
A recurring BSc project theme for the last few years: develop you own DSLsofMath-inspired material for a topic of your choice.
Functional Programming and Climate Impact Research
This is a course aimed at PhD students or MSc students interested in the application of functional programming, domain-specific languages, and dependent types to climate impact research.
