Biography
Professor Rikard Gebart graduated with a Lic. Eng. in fluid dynamics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) 1988 and a Ph.D. in fluid dynamics from the Luleå University of Technology 1993. In 1998 he was promoted to Docent by the faculty of technology at Luleå University of Technology. He has been working with advanced fluid mechanics research since 1984 both in industry (ABB Corporate Research), at several research institutes (SICOMP, CERN and ETC) and in academic positions (Luleå University of Technology). Dr Gebart has been leading research and development projects since 1985 when he managed the development of a crucial component in nuclear reactor technology at ABB ATOM for which he later obtained a US patent. He has also been supervising and advising more than seven PhD students in several different research areas. Dr Gebart has extensive experience from computer simulations (CFD) and fluid dynamics experiments (hot-wire, LDV and advanced visualisation methods). Presently, Dr Gebart is managing director of ETC and adjunct professor at the Luleå University of Technology.
