Biography

Examina and Positions at the Department of Chemical Reaction Engineering: 1971 : M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology 1977 : BA in Economy, Philosophy and Psychology, University of Gothenburg 1977 : Ph.D. in Chemical Reaction Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology 1977-1991 : Lecturer at the department of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology 1984-1985 : Visiting Scientist at Northwestern University, Illinois, USA 1991-1994 : Nordic professor in Catalysis 1994 - Professor at the department of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology Teaching I teach basic chemical reaction engineering, mathematical modelling, optimization and experimental planning at undergraduate level and advanced chemical reaction engineering, catalysis and regression analysis at graduate level. Research Chemical reactors: Slurry reactors have been studied both theoretically by CFD modelling and experimentally. Monolith catalyst reactors is studied both as catalytic converters for emission control and as chemical reactors for chemical industry. Catalyst deactivation: Catalyst deactivation by coke formatin is studied both for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. Automotive catalysis: Low temperature activity, NOx-abatement and oxygen storage are the main fields of research in the automotive projects.
