Elin Gåhlin

I work as a Project Manager and Chemical Engineer at RISE within the Corrosion and Material Durability Department, where I lead a diverse portfolio of projects focused on materials used in the energy and process industries.

My work spans a wide range of applications, including district heating systems, electrical motors and carbon capture and storage (CCS/CCUS) were the main goal is to translate research into practical, sustainable material solutions that meet industrial needs

With a strong background in materials science and process engineering, I specialize in solving complex material-related challenges linked to energy production, sustainability, and the circular economy. My role combines technical leadership with close collaboration alongside industry partners, ensuring that research outcomes deliver measurable real-world impact.
