Lund researchers awarded prestigious ERC grants
Two researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been awarded almost EUR 5 million in total from the European Research Council. One of the research projects focuses on the early growth of diatoms in the ocean 250 million years ago, and the subsequent global effects of the algae growth. The other grant will go towards research on the automatic [...]
Students whip up crispy crackers from waste product
The whisked liquid left over when boiling beans and chickpeas – aquafaba – can replace egg whites in providing the right consistency for mayonnaise, cakes and desserts. It has therefore become a popular alternative among vegans, but within the food industry it is rare to find aquafaba as an ingredient. Now, a group of Masters’ degree students in [...]
Promising bioplastic derived from “poo molecule”
A new, fossil-free bioplastic is emerging. According to lab experiments, it is more durable than both regular plastic and other bioplastics, and is potentially better suited for recycling.
New dissertations within Engineering Health
Cells and their acoustic properties, as well as computer-simulated fluid flows in the heart, are some of the topics covered in the latest dissertations within the profile area Engineering Health.
Funding from Swedish Research Council to Engineering Health
In the recent grant decision by Swedish Research Council several researchers from the LTH profile area Engineering Health are present. Together, they have been granted nearly 34 millions SEK.
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 [...]
