In my daily work I meet various measuring problems and toghether with my colleagues we try to solve these.
Biography
I was born 1960 in a small Swedish village. After elementary school I decided to study technology and electronics. During the final year I was lucky and got a project work at the car manufacturer Volvo. The project was about fuel consumption and on board computers, and one of the things we worked with was a flow meter for the petrol to the engine. It needed calibration and this was my starting point, after which I have constantly tried to learn more about measurements, traceability and instrumentation. After one year in the army (where I learned a lot about tough electronics) I got a job at SP Swedish National Laboratory. Later I changed to a private company, working as product manager for flow meters and for a period I had my own consultancy company. During the years I have participated in various training courses, research projects, international cooperation, laboratory assessments and product developments – all focusing on flow meters. Since around 2005 I have also had lectures for students (mainly at short training courses) and for these I have made various texts, experiments, films and other training materials.During my daily work today, togehter with my colleages we solve measuring problems for the Swedish process industry in areas like oil & gas, pulp & paper, chemials, water and power.
