Current Lise Meitner professors
Who are the Lise Meitner professors? Here you will find brief information about LTH’s current Lise Meitner professors.
Ibtissam El Hassani | Department of Design Sciences – Division of Innovation
Ibtissam El Hassani conducts research on how artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, can be used to improve product development in industry. She combines expertise in mechanics and computer science and has developed methods for AI-based design, patent analysis, and production. Starts in November 2025.
Carolyn Beck | Department of Automatic Control
Carolyn Beck’s research is focused on analysis and control of dynamic systems evolving over networks, with applications to epidemic processes, including infectious disease spread and financial risk contagion, and to energy systems. Carolyn Beck starts in October 2025.
Klara Bolander Laksov | Centre for Engineering Education (CEE) – Genombrottet
Klara Bolander Laksov is very involved in the work of The Association of Swedish Higher Education Institutions (SUHF), where she is an executive member of the expert group for higher education pedagogical issues.
Milena Corredig | Department of Process and Life Science Engineering
Milena Corredig is a leading researcher at Aarhus University, Denmark, in the field of food structures. She is also a key member of Northern Lights on Food (NLF). Milena’s research focuses on the design of food structures by linking biochemistry with processing and materials science.
Codina Cotar | Centre for Mathematical Sciences
Codina Cotar is a researcher in probability theory, mathematical physics and analysis, with impactful works in these fields. Her work connects powerful mathematical techniques to important topics of research in physics, chemistry and engineering. Codina Cotar starts in October 2025.
Regina Dittmann | Department of Physics – Division of Solid State Physics
Regina Dittmann is Deputy Director at the Research Center in Jülich and Professor at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule in Aachen, the Technical University of Aachen. She is a well-known expert on thin oxide films and memristive devices for non-volatile computer memories and neuromorphic computing applications.
Haneen Farah | Department of Technology and Society
Haneen Farah’s research lies at the intersection of road infrastructure design, road user behaviour modelling, and traffic safety quantification, while considering emerging technologies and trends in the transportation field. She co-directs the Traffic and Transportation Safety Lab in the Department of Transport and Planning, at Delft University of Technology. Haneen Farah started in October 2025.
Nønne Prisle | Department of Physics
Nønne Prisle is professor in Atmospheric Science at University of Oulu, Finland, where she leads the Center for Atmospheric Research (ATMOS). Her field of scientific expertise is nanoscale aerosol particles and their chemical and microphysical properties, focusing on understanding the interactions of atmospheric nanoparticles with water and their climate effects.
