Andreas Carlson

Andreas Carlson is a Professor at the University of Oslo's Department of Mechanics. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, interfacial flows, and biophysics, with particular emphasis on elastohydrodynamics, membrane adhesion, and numerical modeling. He holds a PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology (2012) and was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at Harvard University (2012-2015).

Key awards include the Silver Medal ERCOFTAC Leonardo Da Vinci competition (2012) and the Sigvardt Eklund's Award (2008). His work spans academic staff roles and active participation in projects like LUBRIBOT (sustainable soft robotics) and DyWeSS (dynamic wetting on soft materials).

Carlson's research explores fluid dynamics in complex systems, including droplet behavior, soft matter physics, and biomembrane mechanics. His recent studies investigate phenomena like viscoelastic film spreading, fiber-based droplet control, and biomembrane stability. He contributes to courses such as MEK3230 - Fluid Mechanics and collaborates internationally on projects involving fluid-structure interactions and environmental engineering.
