Augustsson is an Associate Professor in the Division of Biomedical Engineering at Lund University, focusing on Acoustofluidics. His research explores the physics of how ultrasonic waves interact with fluids and suspended microscopic objects, such as blood cells and biological nanoparticles. He has pioneered the concept of thermoacoustic streaming, utilizing ultrasound to drive localized flows in heated fluids. His work aims to achieve precise control over the location and rotation of small objects, assisting in the organization of blood cells into predictable formations within a sound field. This research is vital for gaining access to rare cells in untreated blood, facilitating improved biomedical applications. He collaborates with biologists and biomedical researchers to develop instruments that separate cells and nanoparticles from complex biological fluids using ultrasound. His expertise aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in addressing global challenges related to health and well-being.
