Johan Thunberg
Doctoral Student

Johan Thunberg was born in Stockholm, in 1982. He has received a Master of Science degree in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. After finishing his Master he has worked as a research assistant at the Swedish Defence Research agency (FOI), and at ENEA, a Swedish software company specialized in embedded systems.

Currently he is a Ph.D. student within the Centre for Autonomous Systems (CAS) and is funded by the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) and Nationellt Rymdtekniskt Forskningsprogram (NRFP). His supervisor is Professor Xiaoming Hu.

Current Research
He is working in a joint project AFFIOSA between KTH and SSC, with vision based control and estimation, consensus problems and optimization problems for systems of mobile agents.
