Knut Einar Aasland
About
Fields of expertise:
- Design methodology
- Product program development
- Universal design
Research:
- Methods for efficient product development
- Universal design of products, especially in the field of public transportation
- Design for environment
Ongoing project:
"The design factory" - a part of CRI Norman (see www.sfinorman.no). We aim to industrialize and make more efficient the development process in Norwegian industry. Research is concentrated on culture for innovation, strategies for innovation and new design methods.
Scientific background:
PhD from NTH 1995 at Department of machine design.
From 1981 to 2004 I was researcher and senior scientist at SINTEF departments, first Machine design, then Production engineering, then Material technology and finally Technology and Society. For a couple of years I was also research director.
Teaching:
- TMM4115 Product modelling
- TMM4150 Engineering design and mechantronics
