Overview

The research in Systems Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology is about how different system components interact to create a functioning whole. For example, it can be applied to:

Energy supply systems - how energy is distributed and used efficiently.

Radar systems - detection and monitoring technologies.

Transport systems - optimising logistics and mobility.

Biological processes - analysis and modelling of natural systems.

Because systems engineering is rooted in mathematics and physics, it allows the transfer of ideas and methods between different application areas.
