Carlson is a historian of technology based in the Faculty of Engineering, where he uses the careers of inventors and entrepreneurs to educate future engineers. He is the author of three monographs, including one on Nikola Tesla, which has been published in nine languages. He will be drawing on this biography for his paper entitled: “Nikola Tesla: The Rise and Fall of a Technological Hero”.
