Gauti Asbjörnsson

Gauti Asbjörnsson is an Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Rock Process Systems group in the Department of Product and Production Development. His work bridges dynamic crushing plant simulation, environmental impact assessment, and process optimization in the mining and aggregates industries.

• Active in teaching Machine Elements and Integrated Design and Manufacturing (IKOT) courses for Mechanical Engineering students
• Member of the Global Comminution Collaborative (GCC)
• Focus on enhancing simulation tools for operator training, control algorithm optimization, and sustainable aggregate production

Research Trends from 87 publications (2025–2013) include:

• Simulation-Driven Process Optimization: Applications in gold production, SAG mill circuits, and mobile crushing units
• Environmental Impact Modeling: Life cycle analysis (LCA), recycled aggregates, and digital platforms for sustainability
• Advanced Control Systems: Hilbert transform diagnostics, cloud computing monitoring, and DEM-based screening analytics
• Multi-Disciplinary Optimization: DOE experiments, trade-off curves, and robust design frameworks

Grants & Collaborations span EU-funded SCIMIN-CRM (2024–2028), DigiEcoQuarry (2021–2025), and national projects with VINNOVA and SBUF. He co-developed web-based EPD tools and training simulators for quarry operators.
