Adel Daoud charts the poverty in Africa

Can it be true: a researcher specialising in poverty elected to the Young Academy of Sweden? What about a social scientist who is also an expert in computer science, straddling the boundary between scientific disciplines? Why not? Meet Adel Daoud.

“It’s the best way to tell a story”

His fascination with comics has followed LiU researcher Robert Aman since he was five years old. He was recently awarded the Adamson Diploma by Svenska serieakademin, which emphasised in the citation Aman’s book as a classic in the making.

Collaboration the key to realising the potential of AI

In the near future, it is probable that autonomous drones and quadruped robots will perform rescue operations. But we are currently far from achieving full autonomy. Consequently, well-functioning collaboration between human and machine is crucial.

Kajsa Igelström wants to study autism using VR

Many people with autism or ADHD find that sensory input and motor skills are problematical in their everyday life. Researcher Kajsa Igelström wants to understand why.

“What exactly do we mean by sustainable development?”

Politicians are unanimous that society must develop in a sustainable manner. But what does this mean? If we are to achieve sustainable development, we must discuss the concept itself.

LiU to coordinate EU project on click chemistry for cancer therapy

Small implanted ion pumps combined with click chemistry may provide a new type of cancer treatment. This is the objective of the EU’s bioSWITCH project, coordinated by Linköping University with a budget of SEK 43 million for three years.

COVID-19 reactivates several latent viruses – particularly in ME patients

COVID-19 reactivated viruses that had become latent in cells following previous infections, particularly in people with chronic fatigue syndrome. The results adds to our knowledge of the causes of the disease and prospects of reaching a diagnosis.

New technology to secure future harvests

Wars, natural disasters and climate change bring huge challenges for the agriculture industry, which must at the same time provide food for a growing population. Future high-technology solutions can increase food production in a sustainable manner.

LiU doctoral student awarded Gunnar Engström Scholarship

Giacomo Carraro, doctoral student at LiU, has been awarded the ABB Gunnar Engström Scholarship for his research into improving the production of biogas. The scholarship has a value of SEK 150,000.

Screening for stroke risk can save lives and money

Atrial fibrillation is the greatest risk factor for stroke. Screening to detect atrial fibrillation in older people would not only increase the chance of preventing stroke, it would also save money for the healthcare system and society.

SEK 20 million for laser research from the ERC

Professor Feng Gao at LiU has received an ERC Consolidator Grant for work to create electrically pumped perovskite lasers. The project may fundamentally change laser technology. The award is SEK 20 million over five years.

The Paris Agreement – better measurement methods needed

The Paris Agreement says that we should reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to limit the rise in global temperature to 2 degrees Celsius. But do we have the measurement methods needed? LiU-researchers have the disheartening answer.

Large LiU presence at climate meeting in Egypt

Seven people from Linköping University will be at the UN climate change conference in Egypt. LiU researcher Mathias Fridahl believes that a major focus will be on adaptation.

LiU congratulates successful researchers, and looks to inspire others

The Grantee Celebration Event is an initiative in which Linköping University congratulates LiU researchers who have recently been awarded prestigious research grants. It is intended to become an annual event – one that inspires young researchers.

Possible biological explanation for increased cancer risk in dense breasts

The risk of developing breast cancer is higher in what are known as dense breasts. Researchers at LiU have now shown that there are major biological differences between dense breasts and nondense breasts.

The brain cells needed for fever

Researchers at LiU have identified in mice the cells in the blood vessels of the brain that are necessary for a fever reaction. The results answer a long-standing question of which organs are involved in producing fever.

SEK 22 million ERC grant to research on sex-bias in disease

Associate professor Colm Nestor has been awarded a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) of approximately SEK 22 million over the next 5 years. The funding will be used to research sex bias in human disease.

Electricity from renewable sources can increase with flexible systems

Energy flow from solar and wind power is uneven, and depends on the weather. However, research from LiU shows that a flexible energy system in which district heating, electricity production, and industry work together can balance energy consumption.
