Christer Ahlström is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Linköping University. His primary research focuses on how physiological cognitive states such as fatigue, distraction, and alcohol intoxication affect traffic safety, with the goal of preventing crashes and saving lives. He conducts experimental research to develop methods for detecting risks and preventing accidents. He is also a senior researcher and head of the physiology lab at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). Ahlström's work combines basic and applied science, employing advanced experimental design and physiological measurements, including analysis of eye movements and driving behavior. He has a notable career that includes real-world experiments with sleep-deprived and alcohol-impaired drivers, contributing significantly to the field of traffic safety. Holding an MSc in Computer Science Engineering and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Linköping University, he has participated in over 100 national and international research projects involving various stakeholders. His research includes the development of the Minimum Required Attention (MiRA) model and the AttenD algorithm, which detects distraction in real-time, fostering safer driving decision-making.
