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 solutions (Product-Service Systems – PSS) that should create value in the upcoming Functional & Circular 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 “engineering desktop” is growing 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” operating environment, hence life-cycle factors and sustainability, besides the traditional factors of product performance, are always in focus.
