Three new Wallenberg Scholars at LiU

Three professors at LiU, Anders Ynnerman, Erik G. Larsson and Igor Abrikosov, have been selected as Wallenberg Scholars in 2019, which means that they each receive SEK 18 million for free research in the coming five years.

Close to reality in "the best dome in the world"

Better images for visitors and sharper tools for researchers. The dome at Visualization Center C has been upgraded with laser projectors as part of a Swedish initiative in which Linköping University and Norrköping municipality are central.

AI research needs major investment in infrastructure

“We have survived the AI winter: now we need suitable infrastructure to break the ice.” The words are those of Anders Ynnerman, professor at LiU who once again is standing on the barricades to unite the Swedish research community.

Technology for augmented intelligence

Augmented intelligence is the first platform in the Vinnova-financed Visual Sweden, based at LiU’s Campus Norrköping. Two new laboratories constitute meeting places in which researchers can collaborate with participating companies.
