Anna is a postdoctoral researcher in the MARC research profile at Mälardalen University. She recieved her PhD from Mälardalen University in 2025 with the dissertation "Probabilistic analysis and scheduling of real-time systems".
Since receiving her MSc in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering from Linköping University in 1998, she has worked as a Software Engineer in medical imaging, virtual reality and medical treatment planning, and as project manager in an autonomous sailboat project at Åland UAS.
Anna is course responsible for DVA245, Data Structrures, Algorithms and Program Development with Python.
Her research interests are related to probabilistic analysis, and adaptive real-time systems with varying computational demands. The objective is to enable economic resource provisioning of real-time systems by using probabilistic approaches to analysis and scheduling. This includes identifying models that accurately represent task execution times and using these models to derive less pessimistic analyses compared to the current state of the art. It also includes exploring scheduling approaches that reduce tardiness or allow for energy savings when computational resources are underutilized.
