Fredrik Asplund is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in cyber-physical systems (CPS) with a focus on safety practices. His research interests include system safety, software engineering, innovation ecosystems, and empirical software engineering. Before his academic career, he worked in the telecommunications industry as a software architect, where he was responsible for porting software to new embedded platforms. His initial research focused on the safety implications of software tools used in the development of CPS. His interests have expanded to include the behavior-shaping constraints and safety implications affecting engineers in the development of CPS, particularly the sociotechnical systems that constrain their flexibility in ensuring safety. He studies the impact of safety-related standards on engineers and aims to enhance the connection between developers and operators to improve safety in software and systems engineering. Currently, his research projects are applied in the automotive and maritime domains, focusing on autonomous and highly automated connected vehicles and the implications of extreme situations for ensuring resilience during unavoidable accidents.
