BIOGRAPHY

 

Ingrid Skogsmo holds a Master Degree in Engineering Physics from Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden. She joined Volvo Car Corporation in 1985, and has worked in a range of positions, mainly related to car safety. She has been a member of several international working groups and authored and co-authored over 20 scientific safety papers. During 2000-2002 she  held positions as a Manager within Ford Motor Company in Dearborn for safety and environmental assignments.
Since 2003, Ms. Skogsmo is the director of Volvo Cars Safety Centre. The Centre is responsible for Volvo Cars' safety – from strategy and identification of future priorities, to realizing these in cars, to verifying the safety performance both in CAE, testing and the real world environment.
Volvo Cars' in-house research and development has resulted in several world first introductions – such as the Whiplash protection seat (WHIPS) and the Driver Alert system.
Furthermore, Volvo Cars is a committed member of several national and international research projects with preventative and active safety related focus, as well as crashworthiness programs.
Ms Skogsmo also serves as chairman of the board for the international Global Road Safety Partnership, working to improve road safety in the developing world.
