Katarina Gustavsson

Katarina Gustavsson is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Numerical Analysis, Optimization and Systems. She serves as the Head of Studies (Huvudstudierektor) for the Department of Mathematics and teaches courses such as the Basic Course in Numerical Methods (SF1525) and Numerical Methods, Basic Course (SF1547). Her research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, multiphase flow, and boundary treatment techniques in numerical simulations.

Her work includes developing numerical methods for rigid fiber suspensions, sedimentation analysis, and contact line dynamics. Key contributions involve high-accuracy boundary treatments for Stokes flow and conservative level set methods for interface dynamics. She has authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles and conference papers since 2000.

Dr. Gustavsson’s research interests span fluid-structure interaction, fiber orientation dynamics, and the numerical modeling of complex multiphase systems. Her publications address challenges in Stokes flow simulations, sedimentation processes, and the consolidation of concentrated suspensions.
