Frostman earned his Ph.D. in 1935 at Lund University under the Hungarian-born mathematician Marcel Riesz, the younger brother of F. Riesz. In potential theory, Frostman's lemma is named after him.[1] He supervised the 1971 Stockholm University Ph.D. thesis of Bernt Lindström, which initiated the "Stockholm School" of topological combinatorics (combining simplicial homology and enumerative combinatorics).
