Dr. Tobias Köhnke


Biography

As the Director of Fiber Development at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, I lead research at the intersection of polymer chemistry, materials science, and process engineering, with a strong focus on developing sustainable fiber materials and scalable production technologies. My work centers on creating man-made fibers derived from renewable or recycled raw materials, as well as functional fibers designed for advanced applications. By leveraging both solution and melt spinning techniques, I investigate the intricate relationships between process, structure, and properties to design tailored fiber materials for technical and textile uses. A key objective of my research is to transform renewable resources into high-performance fiber-based products that combine environmental responsibility with technological excellence. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, my overarching ambition is to translate fundamental scientific insights into industrial solutions—advancing resource-efficient, sustainable, and high-performance fiber technologies for the future.
