CV Tobias C. Larsson 20151215 1 CURRICULUM VITAE – Tobias C. Larsson PERSONAL DATA Name: Tobias Christoffer Larsson Date of birth: 22 March, 1972, in Karlskrona, Blekinge Gender: Male Address: Skansvägen 14 SE-371 42 Karlskrona E-mail: [email protected]Telephone: Mobile: +46(0)70 511 94 16 Personal web site @BTH http://www.bth.se/ing/tlr Short biography § Professor Tobias C. Larsson (TCL), born 1972, got his PhD at Luleå University of Technology in 2001 within the area of simulation driven design within a product development context. The applications were within automotive, and high-speed train sector. Special emphasis was on multi-body dynamics and simulation driven design within a product development context. § The core of today is within the Engineering Design Research area, where the focus is on developing methods and tools for engineering product development and simulation applications in industrial settings to support development of sustainable product-service systems (PSS) that should create value in the upcoming Functional Economy. PSS puts the focus on the functional aspects of the development and drives the usually separated product and service development teams into a more concurrent way of working to ensure delivery of a life-cycle function. Value modelling and simulation, knowledge management, and innovation engineering capability when developing PSS is of extra interest in the research. § The constantly expanding “engineers desktop” is expanding with new tools and methods, and here the focus is on Model Based Engineering/Enterprise. The updated "engineering toolbox 2.0" for the engineer of the future needs to support organisations moving into a “greener” situation, hence life-cycle factors and sustainability, besides the traditional factors of product performance, are always in focus. § TCL is currently supervising 4 PhD students and has examined several PhD's (22) and licentiate (22) degrees. He has contributed in over 100 peer-reviewed publications within his research area. TCL has initiated and finalized several research projects. TCL was the main person behind the creation of the Faste Laboratory, a VINN Excellence Centre within product-service systems (2007-2016). He is also the main applicant and Center Director for the BTH KK Foundation Research Profile within Model Driven Development and Decision Support at BTH (2013-2019). He is co-founder of the Design for Wellbeing framework, a joint research project together with Stanford University, USA, and Hosei University, Japan, and have taken part in several European Union projects within aerospace sector (VIVACE 2004-2007, CRESCENDO 2009-2012), and healthcare sector (PrimCareIT 2012-2104). § TCL devotes his teaching efforts to product development courses, both via BTH lectures and via lectures on other universities and in industry on national and international level, and by initiated and now hosting the Master programme in Sustainable Product-Service System Innovation, MSPI, at BTH. § The mode of work is collaborative where building strong group dynamics processes in the research team collaboration is one cornerstone, building from experiences in team sports Playing ice hockey on semi- professional level in various Swedish teams, and now being Chairman of the Board of Karlskrona HK and Board Member of SHL. § TCL lives in Karlskrona, Blekinge, with wife Madelene (interaction designer by profession) and the three kids Tilde (2000), Linnea (2004), and William (2008).
