Christer Norström (not working at IDT anymore)


Christer Norström is professor in software and systems engineering. He received a Ph.D from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm in 1997, became Docent at KTH in 2001, and professor at Mälardalen University 2002.

Christers research interests are design of real-time systems, reliability and safety methods, software engineering, and architectures for real-time systems. His research is almost always carried out in close collaboration with industry. Currently his main industrial partners are ABB Robotics and Volvo CE. He is very interested in technology transfer from academia to industry and he has manifested that through several successful transfers to the automotive industry.
