To benefit digitalization

Digitalization is transforming the world at a rapid pace. As devices, cities and people become increasingly connected, new opportunities emerge – but so do new challenges.

In a connected world, computations must be rethought from the ground up and new types of complex systems need to be developed. At LTH, researchers are working to ensure that sensors embedded in our homes, cities and even our bodies become faster, smarter and more secure.

Many LTH researchers are developing algorithms for facial recognition, computer vision and ground-breaking graphics. Others are maximising the benefits of big data or tailoring computations that increase our understanding of the human immune system.

Some researchers are developing tomorrow’s 6G technology, while others are pushing the limits of miniaturisation by shrinking the smallest components in electronics.

LTH also conducts research on super-efficient computing. Our researchers are contributing to the development of systems capable of carrying out parallel computations in quantum computers or by using muscle proteins in biological computers.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning and autonomous systems are major areas of research at LTH, engaging researchers across a wide range of disciplines.

Together with colleagues from across Lund University, LTH researchers are also examining how working life, economic models and legislation need to evolve in order to harness the opportunities of digitalization and create a more sustainable and resilient society.
