Marie Johansson

Marie Johansson is a Professor in Timber Engineering at the Department of Building Technology, Faculty of Technology, Linnaeus University. Her career spans teaching structural engineering in bachelor’s and master’s programs and leading research projects on wood quality, strength grading, and timber mechanics.

• Acting supervisor in two PhD projects
• Expert Team Leader for "Construction & Design" in BioInnovation SIO-programme

Research Interests:

• Wood material properties (shape stability, stiffness, strength)
• Connection technology in timber structures
• Climate change adaptation in agriculture (Öland, Sweden)
• Modular multi-storey timber buildings
• Fiber orientation modeling for strength prediction

Publication Trends: Recent work focuses on wind-induced vibrations in tall timber structures, 3D fiber orientation models, genetic selection for timber traits, and non-destructive evaluation of wood properties. Collaborations with international conferences (WCTE, ICEM) and institutions highlight her contributions to wood science and sustainable construction.

Research Groups: Leads the Wood Building Technology group, emphasizing applied mechanics and industrialized timber construction.
