Magnus Gyllenhammar.

My four character strengths are: critical thinking, curiosity, creativity and love of learning. I am currently honing my critical thinking and making use of my curiosity and creativity in the pursuit of a PhD as part of my employment at Zenseact. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my kids and my life partner, Cecilia. We live in a house in Pixbo together with our two cats, two bunnies and a small flock of chickens. My creativity is further expressed through music (especially singing) and photography and enjoy reading to feed my curiosity and love of learning. While absorbing (and hopefully creating?) knowledge and insights I also enjoy yoga and walks in nature.

Beyond showcasing my professional achievements in the form of publications and patents, I aim for this site to be a collection of interesting contributions I have made also in other areas of my life. You can find a selection of photographies here and some recordings of me singing here.

Me and one of our cats, Neo.
