Anders Forslund

Anders Forslund is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, specializing in Product Development with a focus on aerospace and mechanical engineering. His work bridges theoretical research and practical application in multidisciplinary design.

• Department: Product Development
• Key Collaborations: VINNOVA, EU Horizon 2020, AIAA, ASME

His research interests revolve around robust design and uncertainty modeling for aerospace structures. He develops simulation platforms to minimize geometric variation in welded components and optimize turbine lifecycle robustness. His work integrates genetic algorithms, 3D scanning, and PLM systems for multidisciplinary convergence.

The 15 most recent publications span 2011–2018, covering welding optimization, geometric robustness, simulation frameworks, and sustainable aerospace design. Key trends include bridging CAD/point cloud gaps, virtual trimming, and set-based design in collaborative platforms.

Anders participates in grants and projects such as:

• TOICA (2013–2016): EU-funded thermal-driven aircraft design.
• ELISE (2018–2018): Vinnova-funded electric aviation.
• Design av de aerodynamiska egenskaperna för ett elektriskt flygplan (2021–2022): Chalmers-led aerodynamic R&D.

He has contributed to research teams in propulsion, thermal sciences, and acoustic engineering, collaborating with experts like Rikard Söderberg and Lars Davidson.
