Mikael Nybacka

I work as an Associate Professor at the Division of Vehicle Dynamics where my research areas are vehicle validation, vehicle dynamics design process, vehicle suspension, chassis concept and vehicle control to achieve greener, smarter and safer vehicles. Current focus is on vehicle validation, driver/operator vehicle interaction, urban vehicle concepts, autonomous vehicles, fault-tolerant control and over-actuated vehicles.

Currently active in Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL) at KTH where I am responsible for the Research Concept Vehicles, the PhD course and supervise PhD students.

I am also the faculty advisor for KTH Formula Student and KTH Hyperloop student competition teams
