I work as a consultant in engineering statistics at Ingenjörsstatistik.
I studied automatization in my master studies 1986-1990, with specialization in technical mathematics. In my master thesis, performed at SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden (as from 2017 incorporated in RISE Research Institutes of Sweden) in Borås. I developed a new method for generating synthetic fatigue load processes for testing and after that my work has been dedicated to statistical application in fatigue. This work has been done in close cooperation with primarily prof. Jacques de Maré, PhD Pär Johannesson and prof. Igor Rychlik.
After graduation I worked at SP Mechanics as a testing engineer and in parallel I worked for a PhD at Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers. The research work was focused on statistical modelling of spectrum fatigue and included experimental work. My PhD thesis was defended 1996 and I then continued my work as a research engineer at SP and at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Research Center for Industrial Mathematics. Much of the work has been carried out in projects with the industry from different product areas.
I was the chairman for the Swedish fatigue network UTMIS 2009-2014.
I have served as a referee of scientific papers for the journals Extremes, Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, International Journal of Fatigue, Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics and Naval Research Logistics and from 2007-2016 I was a member of the editorial board of the journal Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures.
I have also co-authored 17 publications in peer-reviewed journals, mostly about spectrum fatigue, but lately also about reliability and durability methods in fatigue.

UTMIS is a non-profit-making network of companies, research institutes and university departments working in the field of fatigue of materials, which aims to support their work by:
• providing and publishing information, and spreading awareness of fatigue effects
• closer cooperation between parties
• improving levels of knowledge
• performing projects to support work in the field
• raising the profile of the area with research funding organisations.
UTMIS was established 2000 and is operated as a non-profit-making association, financed by its members fees. Currently we are about fourty members among companies, research institutes and university departments.
UTMIS provides a contact point for research councils and funding organizations. One objective of this is that, by presenting information on its members' jointly formulated requirements, the result should be greater investment in fatigue-related working areas, primarily on the national level.
UTMIS also works to encourage greater international cooperation in the field of materials fatigue. In this, it is assisted by the fact that its Board is Sweden's national member of ESIS (European Structural Integrity Society).
The chairman of UTMIS is Jörgen Larsson, RISE – Research Institutes of Sweden AB.
The RISE institutes Innventia, SP, and Swedish ICT have merged in order to become a stronger research and innovation partner. Through our international collaboration programmes with academia, industry, and the public sector, we ensure the competitiveness of the Swedish business community on an international level and contribute to a sustainable society. Our 2,200 employees support and promote all manner of innovative processes, and our roughly 100 testbeds and demonstration facilities are instrumental in developing the future-proofing of products, technologies, and services. RISE Research Institutes of Sweden is fully owned by the Swedish state. www.ri.se
