Elisabet Blom

Elisabet, boardmember, is a chemist who chose to convert to thermodynamics. Work opportunities were scarce when she graduated, and she was recruited to the office next door to the thermodynamics group in the vibration department. Advanced measurements with a deep understanding of the mechanics involved has become Elisabet’s trademark. She has used this understanding to perform many failure investigations, particularly for steam turbines.

Claes Fredö

Claes Fredö, board member, is a founding member of Qring. Claes received his Ph.D. in vibroacoustics from Chalmers in 1995, but has worked as a consultant since 1987. He is a simple guy, with his work being his main hobby— though he manages to also squeeze in some fun with 3D photography, HiFi and RC.
