CURRICULUM VITAE
Robert Jönsson, MSc
Born 12 March 1956
Since 1985, I have held Principal or management-level posts in the department of fire safety engineering and systems safety, and in the school of fire protection engineers. The department involves extensive research and educational activity. It has grown extensively to about 24 employees and a turnover of 30 MSEK. I was the driving force behind the planning and implementation of the fire protection engineering programme that started in 1986, and I was course manager in a number of courses.
I have also been in charge of starting an MSc programme in Risk Management and Safety Engineering that started in 2001.
I have also been the active partner in starting a Master of Science education in fire safety engineering, a joint programme between us, Edinburgh University and Gent University. It started in 2010 and is partly sponsored by the European Union, a so called Erasmus Mundus programme.
Thanks to a large number of publications on the topic of fire design and inspection of new and existing buildings, as well as the fact that, during my time on the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket), I was responsible for the formulation of the Swedish building regulations in fire protection that came into effect 1994.
I have established for myself a leading international position in the field of Fire Safety Engineering and education.
