Mikael Kjellin

Dr. Mikael Kjellin received his Ph.D. degree in Surface Chemistry in 2002 at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. His thesis was focused on the structure-property relations of surfactants based on natural products. He is presently working as project leader at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden within the cleaning and laundry area. He also works within several other research fields related to surface chemistry and industrial applications thereof. He is active in the RISE test bed Cleaning innovation.

Current Projects:
-BioCleanPaint where we work with activities to reduce the climate impact of industrial surface treatment processes by investigating the possibility by
1) Replacing fossil-based solvents with solvents from renewable raw materials.
2) Increasing the proportion of recycled solvents in the process by testing different regeneration methods.
-Cleaning Innovation-A test bed with a holistic approach to the efficiency aspects, as well as environmental aspects of cleaning and disinfection.
