Research
Larssons research is directed towards stochastic modeling and applications in environmental science, bioscience, energy markets and finance. He has been the principal investigator and sole applicant for research projects funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the Crafoord Foundation and Bankforskningsinstitutet. Together with colleagues he has also received funding from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg foundation and the Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius foundation. Larsson has served as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Official Statistics.
Teaching
Larsson currently teaches courses in computational statistics, basic statistics and mathematics. He also serves as program coordinator for the Bachelor program in Statistics.
