Daniel Diaz Rivas awarded for best Master's Thesis in Photonics 2022
In his thesis work, Lund University Master's student Daniel Diaz Rivas shows that is possible to reconstruct the time-dependent polarisation of a very short pulse using a dispersion scan technique. Rivas recently recieved a price for best Master's Thesis by PhotonicSweden.
New dedicated lab for tomorrow’s aviation fuel
The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more [...]

Working towards a semiconductor strategy for Sweden
How should we collaborate on a national strategy for semiconductors? The answer could be closer than we think. After the panel discussion during “Politics Week” in Almedalen, Lund University is now taking the first step towards establishing a national competence centre for semiconductors.
Electric roads – a path to the future?
Many cars on our roads are powered by electricity – and there will be more. The use of electric cars is an important element in the transition to a fossil fuel-free society, but this sets high requirements for battery technology and smart charging solutions. Electric roads could be a way forward according to Mats Alaküla, researcher at Lund [...]
LTH launches profile areas for stronger responses to societal challenges
Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering, LTH, is now launching profile areas for its collective excellence in research. The areas are interdisciplinary and will contribute to increased collaboration with business and industry as well as wider society. Seven themes form the profile areas: aerosols, circular construction industry, energy transition, [...]
Unique combo lab paves the way for new research breakthroughs
