Hi! Nice to meet you.
Here’s where I link to my other social media accounts — I also write occasional blog posts. Feel free to look around; I hope you will find something useful!
I am interested in data science and leadership, and currently working on my PhD in Pharmacometrics at Uppsala University.
My PhD project is using statistical models to help overcome antibiotic resistance, and is a part of Uppsala Antibiotic Center.

Awards/Scholarships 🏆
- The Pharmaceutical Student Union’s Study Council Award for Student Treatment (2021)
During the spring semester of 2020, courses were taught remotely when COVID-19 began to spread in Sweden. Students experienced difficulties with remote work. Viktor approached and understood the students, brought forward their opinions to the ones responsible and stayed after hours to help the students that needed extra help with their individual projects. Thanks to Viktor’s admirable approach, the upcoming courses could be optimized for students.

Your problem with NONMEM is that you don’t grok NM-TRAN
When you first sit down with NONMEM1, it can appear considerably arcane. The “Zen” of NONMEM is that you’re speaking a language called NM-TRAN2; and you need to grok3 NM-TRAN. When you are writing a “model” in NONMEM, you are writing it in the language of NM-TRAN. The document you are writing in is a text file called a control stream, control file, or model file; it tells NONMEM what to do.

When setting goals, it is important that it is falsifiable — just like a research hypothesis. An acronym that can be helpful when setting goals, is SMART. With SMART, goals have to be: Specific Measurable Accepted Relevant Time-bound Specific What exactly is it that you are going to do? Define the exact action that you have to perform. Measurable How will you track your goal?
