Biography
After completing a Master of Science in Engineering degree in 1985, he worked at SAAB Automobile in Trollhättan, Västergötland before returning to Chalmers for doctoral studies.[1] In 1992, Bengtsson defended his thesis on how complex silicon-based materials and components can be constructed using wafer bonding, for which he received the SAAB–Scania Award. Since 2002, he has been a professor in solid-state electronics at Chalmers. His field of study includes silicon-based materials, components and electronic circuits, namely the basis of all consumer electronics.
Following the turn of the millennium, he was a visiting professor at the Grenoble Institute of Technology for six months. Bengtsson held office as vice-chancellor of Malmö University as well as prorector and vice-president of the Chalmers University of Technology, prior to his promotion on 1 August 2015 as president. Since 1 February 2014, he has been chairman of the board of SUNET, the Swedish university computer network.[2]
