Johan Karlsson Assistant Professor, Ph.D. Johan Karlsson received an M.Sc. degree in Engineering Physics from KTH in 2003 and a Ph.D. in Optimization and Systems Theory from KTH in 2008. From 2009 to 2011, he was with Sirius International, Stockholm. From 2011 to 2013 he was working as a postdoctoral associate at the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering, University of Florida. From March 2013 he is an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics, KTH. His current research interests include optimization, interpolation, and model reduction for applications in signal processing and control theory.
