How come you pursued a PhD? During his bachelor studies Andreas stumbled upon Gerhard Kristenssons course in Electromagnetic Theory, and this was the start of his career in the field. – I was instantly fascinated by electromagnetic phenomena and especially electromagnetic waves. During my Masters, I studied all courses I could find relating to these waves, given by Mats Gustafsson, Daniel Sjöberg, Anders Karlsson and Richard Lundin. After that, I wanted to learn more and realised that a PhD with the Electromagnetic Theory group at EIT was a great way to do this. Why LTH?
– I was born in Linköping, Sweden, and during my younger years I spent most of my time playing ice hockey. After I graduated high school I decided to move south to Lund to experience the world-renowned education at LTH, as well as the night life of the famous “student nations”. My first day in Lund, at the Engineering Physics program, I met my wife Malin and at that day I became rooted in Skåne, Andreas continuous. How did you deal with not playing Ice hockey in Lund?
– I have always loved sports in general, and this interest I have kept alive during my time at EIT. Every week, I have had the pleasure of playing floor ball with some colleagues, including my supervisor who also happens to be the head of my department. What are your plans now?
– I am starting a new position in January at a company called TICRA, located in central Copenhagen. They specialise in developing software for design and simulation of space antennas and satellite communication systems. At this company, I will continue working with the technology that was the focus of my research during my PhD, Andreas concludes. The thesis: Design and Characterization of Functional Structures for Electromagnetic Waves is available at http://portal.research.lu.se/portal/en/publications/design-and-characterization-of-functional-structures-for-electromagnetic-waves(0a2f5392-8b27-48f6-976d-39df2134e6e2).html
