Lisa Prahl Wittberg is a Professor of Fluid Mechanics with a specialization in Multiphase Flows at the Department of Engineering Mechanics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology , since 2021. She leads the Biomedical Flows research group , focusing on multiphase flow dynamics in clinical and industrial applications. Her research integrates engineering principles with biomedical challenges, particularly in extracorporeal life support systems, blood pumps, and hemodynamic modeling. She holds an MSc (Mechanical Engineering) and PhD in Fluid Mechanics from Lund University (2007), followed by a Docentship in 2014. Her work addresses pathological processes and device performance in clinical applications, such as ECMO, hemodialysis, and respirators. Key areas include blood flow dynamics in artificial devices, particle transport in biological systems, and improving device safety through computational models. Her publications emphasize cannula design optimization, blood pump performance, and patient-specific vascular modeling. She collaborates on translating engineering insights into clinical practice, enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing complications in critically ill patients. Education: MSc (Lund University), PhD in Fluid Mechanics (2007), Docentship (2014). Labs/Teams: Biomedical Flows research group. Focus Areas: Multiphase flows, biomedical devices, hemodynamics, extracorporeal support systems.
