Peter Persson serves as an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Structural Mechanics at Lund University's Faculty of Engineering (LTH), where he is also a Profile Area Member for the Circular Building Sector. His academic career combines teaching excellence (recognized as an Excellent Teaching Practitioner) with significant research contributions in structural engineering.
His research focuses on Structural Dynamics and Wave Propagation, with particular emphasis on vibration problems in the built environment. Dr. Persson's work integrates physical experimental testing with computational simulations based on applied mechanics and mathematics. His primary applications include ground-borne vibrations, dynamics of timber structures, and structure-acoustic analysis of lightweight structures such as vehicle bodies and pipe systems. His research fingerprint reveals strong expertise in Finite Element Modeling (57%), Ground Vibration Engineering (59%), and Railway Engineering (58%).
Analysis of his recent publications (2023-2025) shows a consistent research trajectory focused on timber construction dynamics, vibration mitigation in building structures, and the application of computational methods to structural problems. His work bridges theoretical mechanics with practical engineering solutions for sustainable building practices, particularly relevant to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities and communities.
Dr. Persson actively leads multiple research projects including 'Innovativa lösningar för ljuddämpning med träkonstruktioner' (2025-2026), 'A framework for predicting traffic-induced vibrations and structure-borne sound in lightweight buildings using machine learning approaches' (2024-2028), and 'Data driven modeling of structures using machine learning' (2023-2027). He is also a participant in the large interdisciplinary 'Urban Arena' project.
