Peter Krajnik

Peter Krajnik is a Professor at the Department of Materials and Manufacturing, Chalmers University of Technology. He leads the Manufacturing Technology research group and directs the Chalmers Centre for Metal Cutting Research (MCR) and graduate studies in manufacturing technology. His research focuses on modeling and optimization of manufacturing processes, particularly grinding technology, with emphasis on sustainability, cryogenic cooling, and additive manufacturing applications.

• Active in grinding process optimization using aggressiveness theory and acoustic emission monitoring
• Developing liquid CO₂ + MQL cooling systems for sustainable machining
• Exploring surface integrity in micro-grinding and aerospace material machining

His 2024-2025 publications highlight innovations in blended learning for manufacturing education, fixed-abrasive process modeling, and industrial grinding case studies. Recent projects funded by VINNOVA and European institutions address digital platforms for aerospace machining, AI-driven grinding digital twins, and green manufacturing solutions.
