Fredrik Berntsson is an Associate Professor (Docent) in the Department of Mathematics at Linköping University, Sweden. He is affiliated with the Division of Applied Mathematics (TIMA) within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His work bridges theoretical mathematics and practical applications in engineering and industrial processes. Research Interests: His primary research focuses on inverse and ill-posed problems, particularly in the context of partial differential equations such as the Helmholtz and heat equations. He investigates mathematical modeling and numerical analysis of physical systems, with applications in inverse heat conduction, image processing, biomechanics, and structural dynamics. His interest extends to the stability and accuracy of computational methods used in simulations. Publication Trends: From 2021 to 2025, his publications show a consistent focus on inverse problems, especially iterative methods like Dirichlet-Robin and Robin-Dirichlet procedures for solving Cauchy problems. He also explores industrial applications, such as thermal tracking in steel production and optimal actuator placement in pedestrian-bridge systems, demonstrating a blend of theoretical rigor and real-world relevance. Teaching: He teaches courses in scientific computing, linear algebra, and programming, contributing to both undergraduate and graduate education in mathematical sciences.
