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.
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.
AI and innovation on the agenda when IMY visits Lund
The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) recently visited the AI and Society research group at LTH and AI Lund to discuss artificial intelligence. In addition to the latest research, the meeting focused on multidisciplinary perspectives, transparency, and how the authority can collaborate with academia to ensure that AI is developed in a [...]
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.
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.
SEK 30 million awarded for research on ultrashort laser pulses and quantum mechanics
Anne-Lise Viotti and Armin Tavakoli will each receive SEK 15 million grants as part of the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research’s investment in Future Research Leaders.
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 [...]
