Civilingenjör (Teknisk fysik) 1975,
Tekn.Dr 1982, Docent 1993, Professor 2005.
Worked for the
Contract Research Group of Applied Mathematics, 1976-1985.
Worked as senior lecturer
at the division of Optimization and Systems Theory,
1986-2004.
Now works as professor
at the same division, since January 2005.
Main current area of research is
topology optimization of linearly elastic structures.
Has developed an optimization method called MMA (Method of
Moving Asymptotes),
and another optimization method called GCMMA (Globally
Convergent version of MMA).
The corresponding computer codes in Fortran and Matlab
are available for academic usage.
Prospective users
should write an e-mail,
explaining the intended usage of the codes.
For the mathematical background of GCMMA,
see siampaper.pdf.
For a brief description of my 2007 versions
of MMA and GCMMA,
