I am a researcher within the component manufacturing unit, focusing on testing and characterization of mechanical properties of materials, with particular emphasis on metals. My primary work involves tensile testing and forming experiments, where strain and deformation measurements are performed using the optical DIC system ARAMIS.
I also work with FEM simulations of manufacturing processes, with a strong focus on additive manufacturing, primarily Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Laser Directed Energy Deposition (L‑DED).
An important part of my research concerns hot forming and thermomechanical models, addressing the interaction between temperature, deformation, and material behavior through both experimental work and numerical simulations. This work has for example been conducted within the following project:
- InDemo – Demonstration of a sustainable concept for induction‑based hot forming, focusing on the integration of induction heating and hot forming combined with process simulation to improve energy efficiency and process control.
In addition, I have been involved in projects related to the characterization of elastic deformations in industrial presses, where the obtained results have been used as input for forming simulations to improve predictive accuracy.
I hold a Master’s degree in Physics from Lund University, where my thesis focused on the characterization of advanced titanium alloys, combined with theoretical first‑principles calculations of their material properties.
Beyond my research activities, I coordinate the member newsletter for the network Stamping and Forming Center, formerly known as Plåtforum.
