Research

A goal of my present research work is to investigate the relationship between microstructure and the mechanical properties of cast iron material. The aim is to develop cast iron material for ex. environmentally friendly truck engines or wind power components. The research is conducted in close cooperation with both Swedish and international industry.

Apart from above mentioned research activities, the measurements and modeling of thermophysical properties such as surface tension, viscosity, density, thermal conductivity/diffusivity, specific heat capacity, etc., at elevated temperature are my strong side.

Teaching
