LTH project receives funding from Vinnova to plan future technology clusters
Vinnova has granted funding for the planning of clusters of excellence for groundbreaking technology. Of the 45 projects approved, five are at The Faculty of Engineering, Lund University.
Robot learning from all angles
Research on robot learning spans from interpretation of sensing data to a robot executing actions in the real world, disciplines the organizers of the ELLIIT focus period on robot learning now bring together in Lund from beginning of November.
Safety and reliability first
For robots to work and collaborate with humans in real-world environments, their functioning must be safe and reliable. Momina Rizwan, PhD Student in Software Development and Environments, has investigated these aspects of autonomous robots in changing environments.
Research conference: Breaking barriers to climate solutions
Welcome to this interdisciplinary research conference on the theme "Breaking barriers to climate solutions". The conference aims to encourage knowledge sharing and dialogue between Lund University and the University of Cambridge.
Doctoral thesis in applied mathematics: Artificial fingerprints train safer AI
Donglin Liu, a doctoral student in applied mathematics, has used several different mathematical models in order to improve artificial intelligence at a fundamental level.
Doctoral thesis in biomedical engineering: AI analyses of magnetic resonance imaging examinations
Magnetic resonance cameras are used routinely for evaluating normal heart functions and to discover heart disease.
For the good of the code reviewer
Code review is somewhat of a hidden activity, but wherever software is written today, code review also takes place. One estimate suggests that as many hours are spent on code review worldwide as people spend watching television. Lo Gullstrand Heander’s research explores how code reviewers can best be supported in their work.
Doctoral thesis in Immunotechnology: Combating cancer in the bladder
A new type of cancer treatment is emerging that uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. This works clinically and is currently used in various ways to treat different types of cancer.
Network grant for planning future excellence clusters
The Swedish Research Council has decided on the applications to be awarded network grant for planning future excellence clusters for groundbreaking technologies. Of the 40 networks approved, four are at The Faculty of Engineering, Lund University.
Fly ash at the Culture Night: Waste in a new light
Waste and ash were the themes of aerosol researcher Jenny Rissler's seminar during the Culture Night 2025. The ashes left over after waste incineration contain more than just rubbish. Zinc, a metal that is predicted to be in short supply in the future, can be recovered – but how easy this is depends on the design of the incineration plant and the [...]
Best paper awards – and a longstanding contribution
Researchers in the strategic research area of AI and digitalization have received several awards recently. One of them is best paper award of the esteemed IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, another is that The IEEE Information Theory Society has recognized the contribution of Professor John B. Anderson to the information theory community.
Carmelo D’Agostino receive ERC Proof of Concept grant
Carmelo D’Agostino, a researcher in traffic safety and behaviour, and stem cell researcher Paul Bourgine receive ERC Proof of Concept grants for their research into developing a new method for traffic safety assessments and finding new accurate models for testing immunotherapies in cancer treatment.
First there was maritime communication
The very first form of wireless communication was maritime; to be able to communicate with vessels far out on the oceans, radio transmissions have been used from late 1890’s. Today, there is a need for reliable connectivity at sea for positioning, and the future applications of remote pilotage, search and rescue, and autonomous shipping.
The AI Welfare State – Awarded grant for research cluster
The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Programme – Humanity and Society (WASP-HS) has awarded funding for research into the societal impact of AI to five research clusters. One of these clusters is partly led by Stefan Larsson at LTH and will focus on the welfare state and vulnerabilities in how it is being transformed through the [...]
Amplify the good – A new concept for stable wireless network
For each new generation of network, there is a certain technology shift. How can existing wireless network technology be improved, and in what way can it meet the requirements that will be set on the future 6G network? Researchers at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University suggest a new way of both enhancing and distributing wireless networks [...]
