Twenty-two Ph.D. and licentiate theses have been completed under his supervision. He has 30 years experience in semiconductor physics, physical electronics, and the science of semiconductor materials. His current research program is focused on: 1) doping, defects, and diffusion in silicon-based semiconductors (e.g., SiC, SiGe, Si); 2) functional oxides (e.g., ZnO) as wide-band-gap semiconductors and nanostructured materials for electronics and photonics; and 3) ion beam analysis of solids, with a team of $\sim$20 people at UoO and a network of international collaborators. Particular applications are advanced semiconductor sensors and radiation detectors, photovoltaics, solid-state lightening, and high-power electronics. He has Authored or Coauthored more than 300 technical papers in refereed scientific journals and delivered more than 40 invited/plenary talks at international conferences and meetings. He has also contributed to four scientific books and organized and coorganized several international conferences and workshops. He holds three patents (with one pending).,Prof. Svensson has been a member of APS, MRS and The Bøhmische Physical Society.
