Göran Engdahl
Göran Engdahl received an M.S. degree in 1974 at Teknikum, Uppsala University, Sweden and a Ph.D. degree in 1981 at Uppsala University in Theory of Electricity. He worked from 1980-1983 at the National Defense Research Institute as the first researcher in the field of electromagnetic wave propagation. Active as a project manager at ABB Corporate Research, during 1983-96, he worked with electrical coupling devices and was responsible for a number of development projects on giant magnetostrictive materials. Dr. Engdahl has more than twenty patents for inventions within electrical engineering and hydraulics. Since 1993, he has been an associate professor in the department of electric power engineering, KTH, Stockholm. Since 1987, he has built up a magnetics group at KTH concerned with the characterization and modeling of magnetic and magnetostrictive materials. The group has made significant contributions to the state-of-the-art in dynamic simulation of magnetostrictive systems comprising hysteresis effects.
