Dr. Mikael Karlsson coordinates VORTEX research activities at Uppsala University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science in 2003 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012, both at Uppsala University. Main focus in the VORTEX project is design and manufacturing of diamond vortex coronagraphs. He is particularly interested in subwavelength gratings, diffractive optics and waveguides – preferably in diamond. Other research interest is diamond based optical sensors (infrared spectroscopy) for applications in life sciences.
