Markus Bohlin serves as Professor (on leave) at Mälardalen University within the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering's Division of Product Realisation. He concurrently holds leadership roles as Dean of the School of Business Society and Engineering, Division Manager for Product Realization, and School Director for the INDTECH Industrial Graduate School.
His academic credentials include:
- Doctoral thesis defended at Mälardalen University (2009)
- Associate professorship (docent) granted at Mälardalen University (2013)
- Adjunct professorship in rail traffic systems analysis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2014)
- Full professorship in Computer Science with Applied AI focus at Mälardalen University (2019)
Bohlin's research centers on Applied Artificial Intelligence across critical infrastructure domains. His primary focus areas include:
- Railway systems optimization and freight logistics
- Cyber-physical systems for construction automation
- Machine learning applications in manufacturing quality control
- Simulation-assisted decision support systems
His work bridges theoretical AI with industrial implementation in transportation, production, and power systems. Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward integrating machine learning with simulation modeling for real-world problem solving, particularly in railway punctuality optimization, construction site autonomy, and manufacturing defect detection. This interdisciplinary approach consistently targets high-impact industrial applications.
Bohlin has held significant leadership positions including:
- President of the Swedish Operations Research Association (2012-2016)
- Member of Trafikverket Board on Capacity in Railways
- Program chair for ICROMA 2019 and multiple national conferences
His academic supervision includes 4 completed PhDs, 9 licentiate degrees, and 5 ongoing doctoral candidates. With 20+ years of experience managing organizations up to 60 employees and 40+ projects (including H2020 initiatives), he brings substantial operational expertise to research commercialization. Current leadership roles encompass the Product Realisation division and INDTECH Industrial Graduate School, driving industry-academia collaboration in innovation and engineering.
