Ivan Stenius received his M.Sc. in Lightweight Structures from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in 2003, followed by a Technical Licentiate in 2007 and a Doctorate in Technology in 2009, specializing in Lightweight Structures. He is currently an Associate Professor at KTH in the Department of Engineering Mechanics. Stenius' research interests include composite materials, fluid-structure interactions, hydrodynamics, hydrofoiling technologies, electric propulsion, marine robotics, model-based systems engineering, and dynamics of underactuated systems. He is the lead developer of design analysis software tools and collaborates with various industry partners, such as the Swedish Defence Material Administration and Saab, focusing on cross-disciplinary research that incorporates computer vision, perception, and applied electrochemistry. His work in marine electric propulsion has led to the establishment of a spin-off company, Zparq AB. In recent years, he has been significantly involved in building a research group dedicated to underwater technology and maritime robotics at KTH. Stenius is the Principal Investigator for the Swedish Maritime Robotics Centre (SMaRC), Sweden's largest academic investment in underwater robotics.
Specific requirements apply to all departments. For Architecture, a portfolio is mandatory and submitted via a separate KTH system.
