Department of Mechanics
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

Education:
MSc. (civ.eng), KTH 1976
Dr. (Steel Structures), KTH 1981
Docent (Struct. Eng., comp. methods), KTH 1988

Professional History:
Professor of Structural Mechanics, KTH, 1992-
Vice President of KTH, 1999-2007
Before 2001-07-01 working at the department of Struct. Eng., KTH.

Research Interests:
Research in numerical modeling of advanced load-carrying structures. Stability investigations, and numerical techniques, primarily related to shells and other slender structures. Finite element forms for the load-carrying structures. Biomechanical modeling of primarily the human musculoskeletal system, including fatigue and extreme contraction effects on muscles. Numerical methods for the optimization of load-paths in the redundant muscular system. Numerical methods for the evaluation of targeted dynamic movements in the redundant system.
