Our research follows 7,547 researchers, builders, lab leaders and public voices through cited biographies. Missing career records can lower counts. Outdated roles can overstate current counts and change ranks. Citation figures count 1 of the 1 people here now. People whose OpenAlex record may be incomplete or mixed are left out. Publication numbers from OpenAlex, as of 22 October 2026. Career and profile data as of 22 October 2026.
We estimate that 7 people shaping AI have worked or studied at Stockholm University, including 1 (14%) here now and 6 with former affiliations. That total covers 3 people with work roles and 4 recorded only as students (2 both studied and worked here). Its tracked sub-organization is Department of Linguistics (1 ever, 1 now). Among 3,127 universities, Stockholm University is tied for 501st by all-time people and tied for 495th by current headcount. “Safety, alignment and evaluation” and “Theory, statistics and optimization” lead 5 areas of expertise (2 each of 7 people with profile topics). Dated work records span from 1953 to 2026. Across dated career transitions, we record 2 full moves in and 5 out, led by departures to KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2). The 1 current person with a confident OpenAlex record (Robert Östling) has 747 citations and an h-index of 14.
