Bio. Mikael Johansson earned the M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Lund University, Sweden, in 1994 and 1999, respectively. He held postdoctoral research positions at Stanford University and UC Berkeley before joining KTH in 2002, where he now serves as a full professor.

His research interests are in distributed optimization, wireless networking, and control. He has published several ISI-highly cited papers, has served on the editorial board of Automatica and the IEEE Transaction on Control of Network Systems, as well as on the program committee for conferences such as IEEE CDC, IEEE Infocom, ACM SenSys.
