About Anders E. W. Jarfors

Anders E. W. Jarfors is a Swedish researcher in materials and manufacturing. He did his MSc and PhD at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. He has worked at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and the Swedish Institute of Metals Research (formerly KIMAB and now RISE and Swerim). He has also worked at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and MMI Holding Pte Ltd in Singapore. He was also an Adjunct Associate professor at Nanyang Technological University. He has held guest and visiting professorships in China with the China Academy of Machinery Sciences and Technology and at Nanyang Technological University Singapore. He is currently a professor of materials and manufacturing at Jönköping University and a visiting professor at Cranfield University and Sustainable Manufacturing.He has a long list of empirical work in materials science and manufacturing processes ranging from metal casting and sheet metal forming to powder metallurgy and spray forming. The main research is on metal casting and automotive components. He is also an active teacher and there is a need for a simplistic description of the foundations of a scientific approach. This is commonly seen in the approach and at the start of final year projects where there are gaps in approach and the ability to understand what is proven and what is suspected.
