About me
Kerstin Forsberg is professor in chemical engineering with expertise in separation processes, particularly crystallization. Forsberg teaches in courses at the bachelor's, master's, and PhD levels at KTH. Her expertise is also applied in research projects, primarily focused on developing efficient and sustainable processes, e.g., for recovery of resources from waste streams (e.g. spent batteries, pickling acid, red mud) and production of advanced materials or investigation of phenomena connected to the transport of pollutants (e.g. heavy metals, radionuclides and microplastics).
My primary research interest is:
- Crystallization and precipitation techniques and approaches.
Commissions of trust
- Editor, Sustainable Materials and Technologies, SM&T, 2023.12 – 2026.12
- Associate editor, Waste Management, WM, 2025.07 – 2026.12
