I am an industrial PhD student in mechanical engineering, collaborating with Saab Kockums. My research focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex technical systems and their interactions, often referred to as Systems of Systems (SoS). I utilize agent-based simulation (ABS), where I model the technical systems as individual agents and define their behaviors within a mission. I then study the execution of the mission for each group of technical systems by measuring various types of efficiency metrics. These metrics can be used to compare the performance of the groups against one another and serve as decision support when designing a group for the mission. This holistic approach in product development considers the interaction of multiple products within a mission, treating the entire mission as its own complex system (or SoS) and relating the performance of individual products to the overall mission.

Previously, I conducted this research for maritime rescue missions during my time as a PhD student at Linköping University, focusing on airborne systems and their behavior while searching an area over the sea surface. This work is presented in my licentiate thesis Model Fidelity in Mission Scenario Simulations for Systems of Systems: A Case Study of Maritime Search and Rescue. Currently, I am focusing on mine countermeasures, where multiple products work together to search for and neutralize underwater mines. The mine countermeasures can be viewed as a System of Systems (SoS), where surface systems collaborate with underwater systems in missions such as mine detection, hunting, and clearance. The modeling and simulation of the mine countermeasures provide support for decision-making regarding the future of these systems and their products.
