Klas Modin

Klas Modin is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics within the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. His research spans multiple disciplines at the intersection of mathematics, physics, and computer science, with a particular focus on geometric approaches to complex systems.

Dr. Modin's research interests encompass a broad spectrum of mathematical and computational fields. His primary focus lies in infinite-dimensional differential geometry, geometric hydrodynamics, and shape analysis, which he applies to problems in computational mathematics, deep learning, and medical image analysis. His work often bridges theoretical mathematics with practical computational applications, particularly in fluid dynamics and image processing. The geometric perspective he brings to these fields has yielded novel insights into the mathematical structures underlying complex physical and computational systems.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research that combines geometric mechanics with modern computational techniques. Many of his papers focus on optimal transport theory, geometric integration methods, and computational anatomy, with applications ranging from fluid dynamics to medical imaging. His work often develops novel mathematical frameworks that preserve important geometric structures in numerical simulations.

Dr. Modin has received several prestigious awards for his research:

• Ingvar Carlsson Award from SSF (2013)
• Marie Sklodovska-Curie Individual Fellowship from EU's Horizon 2020 (2015)
• Starting Project from the Swedish Research Council (2017)
• Wallenberg Academy Fellow (WAF) by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (2019)

His research is supported by multiple grants from major funding organizations, including the Swedish Research Council, the Wallenberg Academy, and the European Union. Dr. Modin leads several research projects, including "Infinite-dimensional Lie groups in hydrodynamics and beyond" (2024) and "Långtidsbeteende för tvådimensionella inkompressibla flöden via kvantisering" (2023-2026), which explore fundamental mathematical structures in fluid dynamics and computational methods.

Dr. Modin is actively involved in the geometric mechanics and computational mathematics research communities, collaborating with researchers across Europe and beyond. His work has significant implications for both theoretical mathematics and practical applications in medical imaging and fluid dynamics simulation.
