Johan Ölvander
Dean, Professor
My research interests are within the field of product design and development, and specifically how simulation and optimization techniques can be employed in order to support the development of complex engineering systems.
Product development based on design automation
Real products include multiple engineering domains, and therefore multi-disciplinary modelling, design and optimization is in the centre of my research.
