Hello!
I'm Viktor Palm, a mechanical design engineering student based in Stockholm, currently studying my M.Sc. in Machine Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. My work spans outdoor product R&D, structural design, and mechanism development. My goal is taking a design from concept to something manufacturable and useful.
I care about the details that make a product easy to use, easy to produce, and built to last: designing with real production methods in mind, testing early with prototypes, and documenting everything to a standard a workshop can build from.

B.Sc. Product Design & Realisation
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
B.Sc. Thesis: Development of Sound Propagation Models in the Atmosphere: Angle-Dependent Ground Reflection in the Green’s Function Parabolic Equation. Extended a wave-propagation solver with a terrain-adaptive method; benchmarked against established GFPE/BTPE solvers over flat and irregular terrain (up to 20° slopes), identifying a possible numerical artifact in the reference method.
