Fluke Fellows
Mattias Gustavsson, Fluke Fellow since 2017, Engineering
Biography
Mattias started his career as an atomic physicist, using lasers to cool atoms and molecules to a billionth of a degree above absolute zero. The apparatus he built as a PhD student was likely the coldest spot on earth at the time. After conducting research in Paris, Innsbruck and at Yale University, he joined the radiation measurement team at RaySafe in 2011, which two years later became part of the Fluke family. He was elected a Fluke Fellow in 2017. Mattias’ primary focus has been the development of RaySafe X2, a family of radiation measurement tools to ensure that X-ray machines in hospitals are safe. He leads a team that designs radiation sensors and the associated signal processing, always with customer needs as a guiding light. He contributes to IEC standards on diagnostic dosimetry and interacts with national metrology labs and research networks. Recently, he has applied his expertise to the Fluke Biomedical instruments for biomedical engineers.
