I am currently a PhD student at Mälardalen University, where I mostly work with Model-Based Systems Engineering and related technologies. I am mostly involved with early stages of MBSE, looking towards improving Validation and Verification capabilities through technologies like co-simulation. Previously I graduated from Mälardalen University with a degree in dependable aeronautic systems, and before that, I was a sheet metal worker (plåtslagare). In my free time (if any) I enjoy strength training and the card game Magic: The Gathering where I play on a semi-competitive level in local to international events.

MDU duties

   Assisting program coordinator for Dependable Systems

I am currently sharing the work for the program coordinator for the Dependable Systems master programme. This includes reviewing and updating the program in addition to various quality processes for improving the program.

   Doctoral student council chair

I have been actively part of the council for several years, I am currently acting as the chair of the council. The council aims to drive positive change for PhD students at and outside MDU.

   Teaching

  • DVA848 - model-based development for dependable systems
  • FLA401 - Project in dependable systems
  • CEL405 - Projekt in electronics, this is a flexible course and potential projects can be discussed based on interest.

  • DVA206 - Kravhantering (Requirements management

Reviewing

I have reviewed scientific papers for the following venues:

  • Journal of Systems and Software (JSS)
  • ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS)
  • IEEE Open Journal for Systems Engineering
  • SysCon 2022
  • SysCon 2023
  • SysCon 2024
  • INCOSE international Symposium 2024
  • INCOSE international Symposium 2025
  • ANSIM CPS track 2023

  • MASE24 workshop
  • RAGE-KG25
  • RAGE-KG24

Johan is mainly involved with Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and works closely with the industry partner Volvo CE. He is also part of the AIDOaRt project working on the Volvo CE use case regarding architecture modeling and early stage analysis. In this context, Johan is performing research on early validation through various means such as co-simulation. The main track of Johan is early stage Validation and Verification of System behaviour represented in heterogenous models in the MBSE life-cycle.

MBSE

The work with MBSE is performed primarily at the early stages of development, focusing on the early analysis and validation of various models. Topics of particular interest is how black box representations can be analyzed and further evolved in industrial contexts. Additionally, how can architecture models be created and maintained for heterogenous domains (e.g, HW and SW). Surronding topics of Systems of Systems and Digital Twin are also included.

AI

One of our main collaborative partners is working closely with recommender systems, where we are trying to improve modelling capabilities in the context of complex Cyber-Physical systems. 

Battery systems

We have done work related to batteries with a focus on Heterogenous batteries. In short, the aim is to combine various types of battery cell chemistries into one single connected system. In addition, there are research challenges related to architecture definitions and analysis, along with the more technical electrical aspects and control of the management system.
