Michael Patriksson is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Gothenburg, leading a mathematical optimization group. His research interests encompass mathematical models and algorithms for nonlinear optimization problems, variational inequalities, and both convex and non-differentiable optimization. He also investigates combinatorial optimization and stochastic mathematical programs constrained by equilibrium considerations, with motivations rooted in practical applications such as maintenance project scheduling and multi-objective combinatorial design, alongside traffic planning. Patriksson is deeply involved in applied projects that aim to enhance efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction in complex systems. His contributions have been significant in areas such as optimal scheduling of preventive maintenance for wind farms, and his work has appeared in various reputable journals. Beyond academics, he enjoys spending time with his family and curating a large collection of rare vinyl records.
