Associate Professor

Presentation

I teach full-time in a number of basic and advanced courses on mechanics and machine elements, as well as structural optimization.

I am examiner in the following courses given in English:

  • Multibody dynamics and robotics (TMMS30)
  • Road vehicle dynamics (TMME11)


In addition, I am one of the two lecturers in Structural optimization (TMMS20).

Academic Degree

  • MSc in applied physics and electrical engineering, Linköpings universitet, 1994
  • PhD in engineering mechanics, Linköpings universitetet, 2000
