BIOGRAPHY

My research focus in 50 words (wordle.net)
|
Professor Tobias C. Larsson (TCL), born 1972, earned his PhD at Luleå University of Technology in 2001 within the area of simulation driven design with respect to vehicle dynamics. The applications were within automotive sector and highspeed trains.
The core focus of today is within Engineering Product Development, Knowledge Based Methods and Functional Product Development (Product/Service Systems). The product development process design and efficiency is of interest. The focus is on Functional Product Development where the combination of physical artefact development and services development is joined in early concept stages with support of knowledge based methods for faster development of new solutions to industrial needs and opportunities. Automation of engineering work tasks with use of design rationale analysis and simulation approaches are in focus.
He is currently supervising 10 PhD students and has examined PhD's and licentiate degrees. He has contributed in over 70 publications within his research area. TCL has initiated and finalized several research projects. TCL is one of the main persons behind the creation of, and also incoming centre director for, the Faste Laboratory, a VINN Excellence Centre within functional product development. He is co-founder of the Design for Wellbeing framework, a joint research project together with Stanford University, USA, and Hosei University, Japan.
TCL devotes his teaching efforts to product development related courses, both via LTU lectures and via lectures on other universities and in industry on national and international level.

SUSTAINABILITY - CO2 COMPENSATION
|
In my research, sustainability and a sustainability in product development is an important aspect. At the same time I travel a lot and this is not environmentally friendly. I try to use internet, telephone and video for meetings but physical meetings are also important. I believe that our research with Swedish and European aerospace industry help develop more environmentally friendly aircrafts but still I try to compensate my business travel through Carbon Neutral.
An example for Luleå-Arlanda travel here.
This might not be the best way, but it is a start...
