Professor Magnus Lestelius is affiliated with Karlstad University's Department of Engineering and Chemical Sciences, specializing in graphic technology and materials research. He leads research in surface treatment for forest industry products, barrier coatings, and printing technologies. He coordinates VIPP (industrial research college) and contributes to Treesearch's Packaging Materials course. His work spans academic teaching, industry collaboration (e.g., Stora Enso Research), and research groups like Pro2BE and Paper Surface Centre.
Education: MSc (1991) and PhD (1996) in Physics/Applied Physics from Linköping University. Extensive industry research experience (1997–2001) followed by academic roles since 2001. Research focuses on molecular interactions in printing, ink transfer, and functional printing performance using spectroscopy, microscopy, and modeling. Active in vocational training and industrial associations (Sweflex, TPP).
Research interests emphasize sustainable materials, oxygen barrier coatings, and bio-based packaging. Over 130 publications cover topics like 3D printing biomaterials, polymer barrier properties, and flexographic printing optimization. Awards: none listed. Advising: contributes to PhD supervision training but no listed advisees. Labs: Pro2BE and Paper Surface Centre are key collaborative hubs.
