Jonas Larsson

I'm working with Computational Fluid Dynamics, or more specifically, numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in aerospace applications (jet-engines). I'm currently employed by Volvo Aero Corporation. Prior to this I was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Thermo and Fluid Dynamics, Chalmers University of Technology. I finished my Ph.D. there in January 1999.

I was in a very serious car accident in June 2006. I am still recovering from that and I am still not working full time. Here are a few press pictures of the accident.
