Prof. Martin Berggren

Martin Berggren received his Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University, Houston, Texas, United States, in 1996. Since 2007, he has served as professor of Scientific Computing at the Department of Computing Science, Umeå University, Sweden. Previously, Berggren worked as a lecturer at Uppsala University, Sweden, and held research positions at the the Swedish Defense Research Agency and Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, United States. Throughout his career, Berggren has published around 70 publications in top journals in his field, received numerous research grants, and served as the lead supervisor for 7 PhD students and 6 postdocs. His early research interests mostly concerned fluid- and aerodynamics. Since the early 2000s, the research has increasingly focused on acoustic applications, where activities involve mathematical modeling, the design and analysis of numerical algorithms, and new applications for gradient-based shape and topology optimization for devices such as acoustic horns, lenses, subwoofers, compression drivers, damping materials, and mufflers.
