Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBo Sundman is a materials scientist and scientific consultant with decades of experience developing thermodynamic models, software and databases for alloys, ceramics and nuclear materials. After a long academic career at KTH—culminating in a professorship and international research stays—he helped commercialize Thermo-Calc and later co-founded the free OpenCalphad project to broaden access to thermodynamic tools. His work spans steel and superalloy databases to recent efforts on nuclear fuels, waste and severe-accident modeling, and has led to peer-reviewed software papers. Now retired in France, he continues active development and stewardship of OpenCalphad, balancing scientific rigor with practical software engineering. Notably, he moved from proprietary software commercialization to open-source development to stimulate wider adoption and improve database models.
