John Leander is a professor in Structural Engineering specializing in bridge safety and endurance at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on assessing the physical condition of bridges and determining their remaining service life, which is critical for maintaining safe transport infrastructure over prolonged periods. He employs advanced degradation models, often based on fracture mechanics, combined with sensor data for probabilistic safety assessments. This work includes studying the effects of degradation due to fatigue, which is often a limiting factor in a bridge's service life. He supervises doctoral students and engages in various national and European projects, emphasizing the importance of practical applications in industry. Additionally, John teaches several courses related to structural engineering and bridge design at KTH, sharing his extensive knowledge with students.
