Carl-Mikael Zetterling is a Professor and Head of Department at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, affiliated with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (ICT) and the Electronics and Embedded Systems department. His research focuses on process technology and device design for high-temperature, high-power silicon carbide (SiC) electronics, expanding into SiC-based analog and integrated circuits. He has authored over 300 publications, including books on SiC process technology and plagiarism prevention. Dr. Zetterling has held leadership roles such as Vice Dean of the School of ICT (2013–2017) and teacher representative on KTH's faculty board. He has collaborated internationally at Stanford University, Kyoto University, and Kyoto Institute of Technology. His work addresses applications in extreme environments, including Venus exploration and fusion reactor monitoring, with a focus on radiation tolerance and thermal resilience. The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in wide bandgap semiconductors, gamma irradiation effects on SiC devices, and high-temperature integrated circuits. His articles span structural health monitoring with machine learning, novel SiC diode designs, and radiation-hardened electronics. Key contributions include advancements in self-aligned contacts, trench MOSFETs, and compact modeling for extreme conditions. While no formal awards are listed, his roles in technical program committees (TMS Electronic Materials Conference, IEEE SISC Conference) and editorial work demonstrate significant academic service. He teaches courses ranging from digital design to high-temperature electronics, overseeing degree projects in embedded systems, communication, and nanotechnology.
