Claes Mattsson

Claes Mattsson is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering, Mathematics and Subject Didactics at Mid Sweden University. His work spans sensor technology, nanomaterials, and environmental monitoring, with a focus on methane and hydrogen sulfide detection. He serves as Head of Department and teaches in areas such as semiconductor sensors and digital electronics.

Research Interests:

• Radiation detectors
• Thermal/infrared sensor manufacturing
• Gas sensing (particularly methane and H2S)
• Nanomaterials for sensor applications
• Pressure compensation in NDIR sensors
• Integration of multilayered absorber structures

Notable Research Trends: Recent publications emphasize nanocomposite materials (ZnO/SnO2) for ultra-sensitive gas detection, data-driven prediction models for hazardous emissions, and multispectral NDIR systems to mitigate water vapor interference in methane sensing. Work also explores silicon nanowires and MoS2 thin films for thermoelectric applications.
