LTH takes a leading position in inhalation drug research
Drugs that go directly to the lungs and are used to treat respiratory diseases have been a Swedish success story. The hope is that even more research findings and innovations can follow. Since research on inhalation technology was embarked upon at LTH, industry has had access to more engineers with vital competencies in such technology for [...]
Easier to develop sustainable business models with a new tool
Can business models be easier to understand if they are developed collectively in the workplace? “Yes”, says Kajsa Ahlgren Ode, innovation researcher at LTH, who has developed a tool for business model innovation. The aim is to help companies, with a particular focus on energy companies, to make their business models more understandable – an [...]
Professor of Nanoelectronics: "Sweden can make a leading contribution to future semiconductor technologies"
In Lund you can find world-leading research in circuit design, new materials and algorithms that utilize the properties of semiconductor components. Here you can also find a strong infrastructure for basic research and new innovations, together with close co-operation with industry. For LTH and Lund University, this means an opportunity to be an [...]
Dean's blog: Together we can strengthen research and growth in sustainable industry
DEAN'S BLOG. If the government and the major research funding bodies can agree on making further and completely necessary investments in modern laboratories and testbeds for semiconductor technology and nanotechnology, for example, as well as in research environments and learning environments, Sweden can take advantage of the unique opportunity [...]
Professor Anne L'Huillier awarded Wolf Prize in Physics
The Wolf Prize in Physics has been awarded to Anne L'Huillier at Lund University, Paul Corkum at the University of Ottawa, and Ferenc Krausz at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. They were selected for pioneering contributions to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics.
New collaboration between LTH and Volvo Cars: the ambition is sustainable growth, innovation, attractiveness, and increased competitiveness
LTH, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University and Volvo Cars have signed an agreement to strengthen existing research collaborations and identify new areas for mutual benefit and development – and in this way contribute to solutions for sustainability. The partnership focuses on five areas: electrification, wireless communications, [...]
International collaboration on forest fires
Two global research initiatives have been jointly awarded SEK 9 million from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to increase knowledge about forest fires. The collaboration includes international fire research organizations and universities. Lund University is one of the institutions of higher learning participating in the consortium that conducts the [...]
Two LTH researchers receive ERC Starting Grants
LTH researchers Carmelo D’Agostino and Lea Fünfschilling have each been awarded European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grants for their research on automated vehicles, and on the dynamics of transformative innovation and knowledge, respectively.
Nanowire transistor with integrated memory to enable future supercomputers
For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself.
Large grant for competence centre on sustainable turbine fuels
Eleven competence centres will share 600 million SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency to accelerate the transition away from the fossil fuel society and strengthen Sweden's competitiveness. LTH coordinates one competence centre and participates in three others.
Dean's blog: International exchanges make a difference
At a time of global challenges, we need to examine complex problems from various perspectives and starting points – to find the solutions that work best. In that perspective, it is obvious that international connections formed by LTH students and staff lead to benefits for industry and society, writes Annika Olsson, Dean of LTH, in her blog.
Large grants for research solving Nordic challenges
Eleven projects are funded by the research programme "Future Challenges in the Nordics — People, Culture and Society". More than 100 million will be awarded. Two of the projects are led from Lund.
LTH appoints three new honorary doctors
Urban architecture, dynamic control systems and sustainable growth are in focus when LTH appoints honorary doctors for 2022. Dana Cuff, John C. Doyle and Nils Hannerz are the new honorary doctors.
Better knowledge needed about handling of nanomaterials
Christina Isaxon has always been interested in how small particles in the air affect our health. As society’s use of nanomaterials increases, research questions about safety are becoming urgent. ‟We need to know more about the conditions in which nanoparticles can affect us and how we can safely handle these materials.”
Cancer, hope and daring to live
To be hopeful, to help one another and to go along with the changes in life. These are actions that can help people find safety in the event of a serious illness such as cancer, according to Ulrika Sandén. She recently defended her PhD thesis in Innovation Engineering at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH). The thesis is about living [...]
