Greta Lindwall

Greta Lindwall is a Lecturer at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), specializing in materials science and additive manufacturing. She teaches courses such as Metallic Materials, Powder Metallurgy, and Materials in Design and Product Development. Her roles include examiner, course coordinator, and teacher for several advanced programs. Her research focuses on solidification processes in additive manufacturing, particularly using high-energy X-ray techniques and synchrotron imaging to study material behavior during electron beam and laser powder bed fusion. She has contributed to understanding microstructural evolution in steels, grain refinement mechanisms, and process optimization for materials like tool steels and stainless steel. Her work integrates experimental methods with computational modeling, including CALPHAD-based approaches for phase equilibria and microstructural prediction.

Key research areas include real-time tracking of solidification, smoke mechanisms in electron beam processes, and the development of novel alloys for AM applications. Lindwall collaborates with initiatives like the LIGHTer Academy and has published extensively on topics such as phase transformations, material properties under AM conditions, and process monitoring technologies. Her contributions bridge fundamental materials science with advanced manufacturing techniques, aiming to improve material performance and process reliability.
