Per Enqvist

Per Enqvist is an Associate Professor in the Division of Numerical Analysis, Optimization and Systems Theory within the Department of Mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. He has held this position since 2009 after progressing from Assistant Professor (2006-2009) and post-doctoral roles at INRIA France and CNR Italy.

His academic background includes:

• Ph.D. in Optimization and Systems Theory from KTH (2001), supervised by Professor Anders Lindquist
• M.Sc. in Engineering Physics (Civilingenjör) from KTH (1994) with Applied Mathematics focus
• Post-doctoral studies at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis (2003-2004) and CNR Padova (2001-2003)

Enqvist's research centers on mathematical modeling of stochastic processes, scheduling, and queueing theory with applications across operations research, systems engineering, and signal processing. His principal interests span Optimization, Operations Research, Systems Engineering, Signal Processing, Mathematical Systems Theory, and Modeling and Simulation. He has made significant contributions to spectral estimation, covariance interpolation, and resource allocation frameworks.

Publication analysis reveals an evolution from foundational systems theory work (2000s) on spectral estimation and minimal realization toward applied optimization in healthcare operations (2010s-2020s). Recent articles address radiation therapy scheduling and contact center modeling using queueing theory with risk-sensitive measures like CVaR, while earlier work established theoretical frameworks for covariance interpolation and passive system synthesis.
