Research
I'm currently involved in a project were we:
- together with Boliden and Zinkgruvan, investigates how the method for assessing the stability of open rooms (within mines) can be improved,
- wants to increase understanding and knowledge of local challenges and opportunities regarding skills supply and its impact on social development in Norrbotten.
I have previously been involved in research projects where we:
- investigated how Augmented Reality (AR) can be used by rock mechanic engineers while working in underground mining,
- developed a VR environment for teaching rock mechanics to students and professionals,
- studied the large-scale stability of the footwall in a sublevel caving mine,
- used numerical analyses to study the impact discontinuous rock masses have on the propagation of train-induced vibrations,
- developed a method to determine rock anisotropy by measuring the P-wave velocity diametrically rock cores.
Teaching
Since 2001 I have been teaching Rock Mechanics within several programs at LTU. At the moment, I am active in various ways in the following courses:
- T0013B - Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics
External link, opens in new window. (Swedish)
- T0014B - Fundamentals of Rock Mechanics
External link, opens in new window. (Swedish)
- T7001B - Fundamentals of Rock Mechanics
External link, opens in new window.
- T7002B - Design of Rock Constructions
External link, opens in new window.
- T0029B - Soil and rock as construction material
External link, opens in new window. (Swedish)
I also teach basic rock mechanics via commissioned training.
In addition to teaching, I am the programme director for the distance learning program Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering:
Supervision
I regularly supervise degree theses in rock mechanics for Bachelor of Engineering (9), Master of Engineering (11) and Master's students (1). I have also been co-supervisor for a research student up to PhD level.
Education
I have a Master of Science in Civil- and Mining Engineering with specialisation in rock and soil mechanics from Luleå University of Technology (2001). Since 2001 I have conducted research as well as teaching at the Division of Mining and Geotechnical Engineering at Luleå University of Technology. In 2008 I earned my degree as Licentiate of engineering in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, and in 2012 I defended my doctoral thesis within the same subject.
