Måns Jansson is a researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Economic History, specializing in early modern economic systems with a focus on Swedish metallurgy and industrial development from the 17th to 18th centuries. His work bridges historical analysis with technological evolution, examining craft skills, knowledge circulation, and state-labor dynamics. Academic Affiliation: Department of Economic History, Uppsala University Research Themes: Metalworking industries, pre-industrial knowledge systems, rural fire insurance networks Current Projects: Fire insurance in rural Sweden (1743-1850) Geographies of early modern Swedish metallurgy Swedish steel development (1650-1850) His research explores how technical knowledge was mobilized through state-sponsored initiatives like Bergskollegium's foreign study tours and localized innovations in metallurgy. Publications highlight intersections between material science, economic systems, and historical transformation in Sweden. Projects have been funded by institutions such as the Swedish Research Council ( Vetenskapsrådet ), Handelsbanken's research foundations, and Jernkontoret, reflecting cross-disciplinary support for his historical analysis of metallurgical innovation and risk management systems. Collaborations with scholars like Göran Rydén and Jacob Orrje demonstrate his team-based approach to studying industrial precursors, while his 2017 monograph on 1730-1775 metal trades exemplifies deep archival engagement.

Joakim Pagels is an Associate Professor at the Division of Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology within the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. He serves as Coordinator for the LTH Profile Area: Aerosols and Principal Investigator at NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience, with additional roles in profile areas covering The Energy Transition, Nanoscience, and Light/Materials research. Education: MSc in Engineering Physics from LTH (1999) PhD on combustion aerosols and measurement (2005) Postdoctoral studies at University of Minnesota (2006-2007) Research Interests: Pagels investigates health impacts of aerosol emissions from sustainable transport/energy systems and novel materials through interdisciplinary collaborations spanning transport designers, toxicologists, and climate modelers. His work focuses on workplace combustion emissions (fire-fighters, biomass), fuel cell exhaust, fire risks in sustainable materials, and black carbon analysis using real-time mass spectrometry techniques. This research directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals for clean energy and climate action. Recent Research Trends: Current publications (2025) analyze particle emissions from transportation systems (disc brakes, high-speed trains, tyre/road wear) and biomass cookstoves, alongside health impacts of renewable diesel exhaust. The work emphasizes laboratory-to-real-world translation and addresses critical sustainability challenges in the green transition. Scientific Awards: No specific awards or fellowships were documented in the source material. Advising and Grants: Pagels has supervised 12 academic works including PhD theses, with 5 recent supervision activities. He leads 20 research projects funded by AFA-insurances, FORMAS, Swedish Transport Administration, and EU Horizon Europe, including aviation biofuel emissions studies (2025-2028) and workplace exposure research during the green transition (2024-2027). Laboratory: Research operations are centered at the Lund University Aerosol Laboratory, serving as the core facility for aerosol science within Lund's multi-disciplinary profile areas.

Lars-Fredrik Andersson is a Professor in Economic History at Umeå University, affiliated with the Centre for Demographic and Aging Research at Umeå University (CEDAR). His research spans economic development, structural change, human well-being, social welfare, demography, and economic geography, focusing on historical risk management systems and policy impacts. Primary Affiliation: Unit of Economic History, Umeå University Secondary Affiliation: CEDAR, Umeå University Andersson's research explores historical intersections of insurance systems, labor markets, and welfare states. Key projects include 'The role of living conditions on health and longevity' (2024–2027) and 'The dynamics of public welfare: industrial accident insurance in Sweden' (2019–2021). His work often combines longitudinal analysis with comparative advantage frameworks. Recent publications analyze mutual health insurance societies, pandemic risk strategies, and pre-welfare state adverse selection mechanisms. Articles frequently address Scandinavian economic development, fire insurance dynamics, and policy implications for equity and sustainability. Co-authors include Maria Stanfors, Tobias Karlsson, and Rikard Eriksson. He contributes to debates on Swedish economic history through journals like Economic History Review and Financial History Review , with working papers for CEDAR and CERE. Current projects examine historical health determinants and industrial accident policies, reflecting his focus on long-term societal resilience.
