RESEARCH APPROACH
The research will mainly be carried out by PhD candidates, with supervisors as support. At LTU there will be a focus on product development methodologies and knowledge engineering, while LiTH will focus modelling and simulation of control systems and system components.
“A challenging and interesting project, especially the environmental focus. It shall also be great to work with LiTH again, it’s been a while”, says Tobias Larsson, professor at Functional Product
