Strategy development, establish collaborations in research & development.

Wood Science and Engineering: PhD supervision, experience sharing.

Wood Science and Engineering. Developing simulation models of virtual boards from CT-scanned logs to predict strength before sawing. Wrote project funding applications to acquire new PhD students. Managing the development of a new MSc programme in timber construction. Developing new courses, teaching and supervising MSc students.

Development of simulation models of virtual boards from CT-scanned logs to predict strength before sawing. Writing funding applications for future projects. Teaching and supervision of MSc students.

Development of 3D finite element models of wood and timber in two fields: i) simulation of collapse in subsystems of multi-storey timber buildings, ii) 3D reconstruction of sawn timber from X-ray CT images to predict strength. Teaching in mechanics and strength of materials.

Developed Benteler Automotive's hot-formed boron steel parts for the BiW of the new Volvo V90/S90, XC60 and XC40 models. The assignment included a 6-month stay at Benteler's head office in Germany where I was trained in product development and project management. I also led the pre-development of a light-weight brake pedal in aluminium together with Benteler Automotive in Denmark.

Development of new alternative harness routing and pass-through concepts for the application on Volvo's heavy duty trucks. The thesis was conducted as a product development project at Volvo's Gothenburg site. Prototypes were built and tested on real trucks at Volvo's facilities.

Investigated snow-making technologies, ongoing skiing resort development projects and the skiing resort market.

During the summers, I guided cruise ship tourists on bus and hiking tours in English, German, French and Swedish.

Basic training and service as truck driver and personal driver for the colonel

PhD with focus on development of 3D finite element models of wood and timber in two fields: i) simulation of collapse in subsystems of multi-storey timber buildings, ii) 3D reconstruction of sawn timber from X-ray CT images to predict strength.
