If you are visiting the KTH Kista campus, there is a service
center at Kistagången 16, elevator A, level 3, open during normal
business hours (with an early closing on Friday).
EECS service center(s): parcels and courier deliveries to KTH Kista
To get to my office or lab, remember that when you come out of the
"B" elevator at the 4th floor of the Electrum building you must turn
right, then you will have to wait for me to let you in. (If
you turn left, you will end up at a different department.)
area: Computer Communication (Datorkommunikation)
Formally the chair is described
in the following Swedish: Ämnet omfattar
integrerade dator- och kommunikationssystem för personlig
databehandling och personalkomunikation, speciellt trådlös
kommunikation och effektiva implementerings strategier. (Ref. nr
473/93). (This translates to "The area concerns integrated
computer- and communication systems for personal data processing and
personal communications, especially wireless communications and
effective implementation strategies.")

As of 2021-01-01 I am member of Avdelningen för programvaruteknik och
datorsystem (SCS)/Division of Software and Computer
Systems (SCS) within Institution för
Datavetenskap/Department of Computer Science (CS) in Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap/School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS).
Through and including 2019-12-31, I was a member of
the Institution för Kommunikation/Department of
Communications (COM), after this I am part of Institution för Datavetenskap/Department of Computer Science (CS).
From 1 January 2018, KTH has merged three schools (CSC, EES, and ICT),
to form the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)
or in Swedish: Skolan för elektroteknik och
datavetenskap. The external web site is: https://www.kth.se/eecs and
the internal web site is https://intra.kth.se/eecs.
From 1 January 2005, KTH is reorganized into 9
schools. Organizationally, I was in the Skolan för
informations- och kommunikationsteknologi/School of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT)(ICT), in the
Department of Communication Systems
(CoS).
From 1 Jan. 2001 to Dec. 31, 2005, I was part of the Institutionen
för Mikroelektronik och Informationsteknik (IMIT) in the
departmental organization I was part
of the Laboratory for Communication Networks (Avdelningen för
kommunikationsätt) (LCN). At KTH prior to this, I was part of the
Department of Teleinformatics (Teleinformatik).

Service activities

A per the protocol of the Faculty Council ("Fakultetsrådet") meeting of 2015-03-17, I am a member of the
KTH reference group on language issues:
"Ledamöter i KTH:s referensgrupp för språkfrågor
Dnr V-2015-0246
Handlingar i ärendet har sänts ut.
Från och med 2013 har skolan för teknikvetenskaplig
kommunikation och lärande (ECE) ansvar för
språkfrågor vid KTH. Till ECE-skolans uppdrag kring
språkpolicyn och övriga språkfrågor finns en
referensgrupp bestående av ordförande, fyra
lärarrepresentanter, en studeranderepresentant för
studerande på grund- och avancerad nivå och en
studeranderepresentant för studerande på
forskarnivå. Fakultetsrådet utser
lärarrepresentanterna.
Lärarrepresentanternas mandatperiod i KTH:s referensgrupp
för språkfrågor för perioden går ut
2015-03-31. Förslag på nya ledamöter i referensgruppen
har inkommit.
Per Berglund redogör för ärendet.
Fakultetsrådet beslutar att utse Michael Hanke (SCI), Gerald Q
Maguire (ICT), Ida Pinho (ECE) och Peta Sjölander (STH) som
ledamöter i KTH:s referensgrupp för språkfrågor
för perioden från och med 2015-04-01 och tills vidare, dock
längst till och med 2018-03-31."
- As of Faculty Council ("Fakultetsrådet") meeting of 2018-03-21, I am a member of the
KTH reference group on language issues from 2018-04-01 until later or at most
2022-03-31. As per the following:
"§ 18 Ledamöter i språkkommittén (referensgruppen för språkfrågor)
Dnr V-2018-0308, ks-kod 1.1
Handlingar i ärendet har sänts ut.
Under åren 2013-2017 har skolan för teknikvetenskaplig kommunikation och lärande (ECE) haft ansvar för språkfrågor vid KTH. Till uppdraget kring språkpolicyn och övriga språkfrågor finns en referensgrupp bestående av ordförande, fyra lärarrepresentanter, en studeranderepresentant för studerande på grundnivå och avancerad nivå och studentrepresentant för studerande på forskarnivå.
Fakultetsrådet har haft uppdraget att utse lärarrepresentanter i referensgruppen vars mandatperiod går ut 2018-03-31. Fakultetsrådet ser språkkommittéens arbete som en viktig del av det lärosätesövergripande kvalitetsarbetet och har tagit fram förslag på lärarrepresentanter för en ny mandatperiod.
Katja Grillner redogör för ärendet.
Fakultetsrådet beslutar att utse Karin Borell (ITM), Michael Hanke (SCI), Gerald Q Maguire Jr (EECS) samt Tor Sandqvist (ABE) som lärarrepresentanter i språkkommittén från och med 2018-04-01 och tills vidare, dock längst till och med 2022-03-31. Fakultetsrådet noterar till protokollet att inte alla skolor är representerade i kommittén.

in April 2011 - I am not a member of this board).
- Former member of KTH's "Fakultetskollegiet (fakultetskollegium)" for the period February 2005 to January 2009

University of Technology in two centers to facilitate "joint
scientific collaboration in the fields of medicine, natural science
and technology in China":
- "Sino-Swedish Centre at Peking University" in Bejing
- "Sino-Swedish Campus at Fudan University" in Shanghai
- In additional KTH has a Joint Research Center of Photonics
(JORCEP) together with Zhejiang University in Hangzhou south of Shanghai.
- KTH together with Chalmers University of Technology, Technical
University of Denmark(DTU) , Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU),
and Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) - have formed an alliance called
"Nordic Five Tech" (N5T).

always have this effect).

In addition to the link to exjobb reports above, another useful
portal is DIVA - for
theses, dissertations, and reports from a number of Nordic
universities. I encourage students to upload the full text of their
thesis to DiVA to increase the visibility of their work and to enable
it to have a greater impact on society. One can
generate a variety of
feeds to get information from DiVA
(in Swedish). Once can also access DiVA via DiVA management UI
