Fredrik X Olsson

Fredrik is a Research Engineer in the Maritime department at RISE, based at SSPA Maritime Center in Gothenburg. His work focuses on maritime digitalization, combining physics-guided machine learning with operational ship data to support performance evaluation, energy efficiency, and decarbonization of shipping. Core areas include ship performance modeling, wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP), maritime data platforms, co-simulation, autonomous maritime systems, and perception sensor emulation for maritime drones and robotics. Outside commercial shipping, he applies similar methods to sailing performance analytics for competitive and Olympic sailing. He holds an M.Sc. in Naval Architecture from Chalmers University of Technology.
