Professor Daniel Söderberg is affiliated with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where he holds the position of Professor of processes from fibre-based materials from forest raw materials. His research focuses on understanding natural material formation processes, particularly using cellulose nanofibrils as building blocks, to develop scalable industrial methods for creating high-performance bio-based materials. He employs advanced experimental techniques such as synchrotron X-ray imaging and neutron scattering to study material behavior at the nanoscale, contributing to sustainable, renewable material innovations.
His research interests revolve around the development of bio-based materials and industrial processes inspired by natural mechanisms. Key areas include:
- Nanofibril assembly and self-organization in fluid systems
- Cellulose nanofibril-based composites and thin films
- Scalable production of high-performance bio-based materials
- Advanced characterization techniques (e.g., synchrotron X-ray imaging, neutron scattering)
- Material dynamics under various environmental conditions (e.g., humidity, compression)
- Integration of renewable materials into electronic and structural applications
Recent research trends emphasize the application of machine learning for analyzing material dynamics, optimization of spray deposition techniques for scalable production, and exploration of lignin and cellulose nanocomposites for renewable materials. Collaborations with facilities like the MAX IV synchrotron highlight his focus on advanced imaging and structural analysis for material innovation.
In advising and grants, Dr. Söderberg has contributed to research projects involving pilot-scale manufacturing processes and collaborations with advanced facilities like the MAX IV synchrotron.
