• Associate Professor, Sofie Pilemalm

Associate Professor. Sofie is associate professor in Informatics  and the director of CARER. She is part of the Department of Management and Engineering where she performs systems development research from a broad, humans, technology and organization perspective, and with command, control and crisis management in focus. She also studies change processes in response organizations and learning and evaluation in the context of rescue operations. Besides being the CARER director she participates in and leads other projects in these domains, nationally and internationally. She is on the management board for an EU expert group under the 7th framework programme for security research.

• Dr Michael Rosander, Associate Professor of Psychology

Michael is Associate Professor of Psychology at the Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning, the Psychology Section at Linköping University. He is head of the Group and Social Psychology subsection at the department. The overall research interest is group psychology with a focus on processes within and between group. An important part of Michael's previous research is crowd psychology and on the interaction between the police and a crowd. In CARER the research focusses on how different groups and actors in connection with accidents of various kinds look upon themselves, on others, and on the event itself. The aim is to find optimal conditions for emergency responses. Of interest is also new players, and connected to that lay beliefs of accidents and emergency response.

• Dr Tobias Andersson Granberg

Tobias belonging to the Division of Communications and Transport Systems at the Department of Science and Technology. He is a researcher and also teaches in the field of quantitative logistics, which involves analysis, planning, modelling and simulation of logistics in industry and society. Especially, he is working with optimizing the use of emergency resources, such as ambulances and rescue units. In projects with, among others, SOS Alarm and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, he has developed decision-supporting tools that help operators and planners, for example, by selecting the new resource assignments or strategically and tactically decide where to place various resources.

• Dr Rebecca Stenberg

Rebecca has a Ph.D. in psychology and works as assistant professor in business administration in the department of Social and Welfare Studies at Linkoping University. Her research concerns organizing, leadership and cooperation in the fields of risk management, safety and rescue from a societal/social perspective. Special areas of interest are new actors in safety and rescue organizing, safety in outdoor activities and voluntary organizing. Recent and ongoing research projects concerns public cooperation in imaginary organizations, new actors in rescue organizing, rural safety, efficiency perspectives in the rescue services, inter organizational cooperation in rescue, and finally the organizing of social entrepreneurship activities for information and safety between non government  tour skating clubs.

• Associate Professor, Johan M Sanne

Johan researches the link between risk perceptions and risk management in technical systems. He has studied air traffic controlling, rail maintenance and nuclear power. John focuses on the conflicts between local practice, risk perception and identity work and on the other hand, organizational learning and control of complex systems. Through lectures and popular science, he contributes to a better understanding of these conflicts among practitioners in various industries, in particular by questioning the usual forms of learning from accidents and to prevent accidents and crises.

• Doktorand Anna Gustafsson

Anna is PHD student in quantitative and logistics belonging to the Department of Communications and Transport Systems at the Department of Science and Technology. At the same institution and department, she also conducted her master degree a few years ago, also in quantitative logistics. In between, Anna worked at Axfood, first as a trainee and then with e.g. organization of automated order flow. Now she is researching in the field of optimization systems and emergency response to e.g. optimize the rescue capability, according to different needs and circumstances, so that these can be used and met in the best manner possible. At the moment she is also doing a project that deals with optimizing the placement of civil protection resources in the County of Östergötland.

• Doktorand Åsa Weinholt

Åsa is a PhD Student in quantitative and logistics belonging to the Department of Communications and Transport Systems at the Department of Science and Technology. Åsa has a master degree in economics that she conducted at the department  of Management and Engineering in 2010. In between, Åsa has worked in the financial sector with financial risk management. Now she will be in the area "New actors within response and rescue" which aims to identify new potential actors who could assist in rescuing situations and to quantitatively (and possibly qualitative) analyze how the utilization of these new actors influence key indicators as response time, alertness and the amount of prevention. Åsa will also work on developing models and methods to optimize the use of the new resources, in conjunction with already existing resources.

• Doktorand Jonas Rybing

Jonas is a Ph.D. student in cognitive systems at the Department of Computer and Information Science where he belong to the Human-Centered Systems (HCS) division. Jonas is studying response and rescue systems from a cognitive systems point of view, with aims of identifying improvements to central aspects of the system, e.g. cooperation, flexibility and communication. Previously he studied cognitive science at the Cognitive Science Master Program at Linköping University where he received his master’s degree in cognitive science 2011. During the course of his studies Jonas worked a lot with patient visualization and digital desks interaction.

• Ph.D. Student, Kayvan Yousefi Mojir

Kayvan is a Ph.D. student in Information System Development at the Department of Management and Engineering, Information System division at Linköping University. His background is in Computer Engineering-majoring Software-and also in ‘Engineering and Management of Information System’. At this point in time, Kayvan is researching in the field of response systems and new actors within response systems.  This includes for example, how response systems can be coupled with new actors, and how existing actors can cooperate with new actors in an innovative and a new way. Which tasks they can do, what they need, and how it is possible to support them with ‘information technology’ (IT).
