Linda Lundström

Linda Lundström is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, leading the Bio-Opto-Nano Physics (BON) division. Her research focuses on visual and physiological optics, including myopia control mechanisms, peripheral vision optimization, and optical instrumentation. She holds academic roles in the Department of Molecular Biosciences, contributing to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physics, biology, and health sciences.

Teaching responsibilities include courses such as Waves (SK1120), Photography for Media (SK1140), and supervision of degree projects in applied physics and technology education. Her work emphasizes practical applications of optics in healthcare, particularly in improving vision correction technologies.

Research highlights include the Stockholm Myopia Study, investigating peripheral refraction dynamics in children, and developing novel methods for evaluating intraocular lens (IOL) designs and peripheral optical quality. She has pioneered instruments like the dual-angle open-field wavefront sensor for simultaneous central and peripheral eye measurements.

Her contributions span over 100 peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing advancements in optical correction techniques, contrast sensitivity analysis, and the role of peripheral vision in clinical settings. Lundström’s work bridges fundamental optics research with practical medical applications, aiming to enhance vision quality and reduce myopia progression.
