Niklas Lundström

Niklas Lundström serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Umeå University, Sweden. His academic profile centers on interdisciplinary mathematical research with applications spanning ecology, energy systems, and image processing, supported by continuous publication activity through 2025.

His primary research domains include Mathematical Biology (focusing on predator-prey dynamics, population modeling, and pest control), Partial Differential Equations (specializing in p-harmonic functions, variational inequalities, and nonlocal obstacle problems), and Optimal Switching (applied to hydropower management and stochastic control). Lundström investigates nonlinear phenomena in ecological systems, develops mathematical frameworks for image despeckling, and analyzes dynamical behaviors in engineering contexts like generator rotor dynamics.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2025-2016) reveals consistent emphasis on nonlinear PDE theory with practical applications. Key trends include analytical solutions for Lotka-Volterra systems, well-posedness studies for variable-exponent equations in image processing, and optimal control strategies for hydropower operations. His work demonstrates strong connections between abstract mathematical theory and real-world problems in sustainability and public health.

Lundström actively participates in three university research groups: Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Modeling and Analysis, and Partial Differential Equations. He currently leads the research project "Viscosity solutions to systems of variational inequalities related to multi-modes switching problems" (2019-2025), indicating sustained grant funding.
