Last Friday Lund University held its annual inauguration ceremony for a record number of new professors. There are 38 new professors at the university, of which 13 are from LTH.

The following LTH-professors were inaugurated:

• Per-Erik Austrell, structural mechanics
• Sara Ek, immunotechnology
• Magnus Genrup, power engineering
• Yvonne Granfeldt, food technology focusing on nutrition
• Eskil Hansen, applied mathematics focusing on numerical analysis
• Buon Kinog Lau, electroscience focusing on applied wave propagation
• Malin Lindstedt, immunotechnology
• Erik Lindström, mathematical statistics focusing on financial statistics
• Kent Persson, structural mechanics
• Marilyn Rayner, food technology
• Miklas Scholz, water resources engineering
• Mathias Wallin, sustainability science
• Lei Ye, applied biochemistry focusing on molecular imprinting technology

LUCRIS, Lund University's research database, is where we collectively present our research to the outside world. Your contact details and publications are updated automatically, and visitors to the online portal can find your profile or research group via subject area or keyword searches - without needing to know which part of the organisation you belong to.

All research staff at LTH must update LUCRIS according to the 'minimum requirements' listed below:

Research staff

• A short research description in Swedish and in English
• Portrait picture
• Subject classification according to UKÄ list (max 3) in the personal profile.

PhD students

• A short research description in Swedish and English
• Portrait picture
• Supervisor and all assistant supervisors
• PhD project
• Title
• Project description (e.g. from individual study plan)
• Commencement year and planned completion year

There should only be one online researcher profile on the university's webpages. Multiple webpages should be avoided.
