The purpose of the proposed project is to understand the rationales, practices and possible implications of the growing – but scholarly unexplored – FIRE movement in Sweden and pla...
Discovering Dark Matter: Extending philosophy of experiment to dark matter
According to a familiar image, science progresses through a comparison of theoretical predictions with empirical observations. But what if the theory is not specific enough to deri...
Building resilience in the aftermath of displacement: the intergenerational effects of a randomized mental health intervention for refugee families
Developing countries host a majority of the world’s refugees, many suffering from poor mental health. Mental health in turn impacts economic preferences such as patience, risk-taki...
(Un)Fair inequality in the labor market: A global study
How do citizens of different societies perceive the fairness of inequalities? Answering this question is key in order to interpret the stability of existing inequalities, to grasp...
Chiral anomaly in Weyl semi-metals; a study based on phonon dispersion
The Nobel prize in physics 2016 cemented topology as a concept in condensed matter physics. Topological phases exhibit unique properties and represent a new class of quantum materi...
Terahertz Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Ellipsometry for defect characterization of ultrawide bandgap semiconductors
The purpose of this project is to develop unique terahertz electron paramagnetic resonance ellipsometry (THz-EPR-E) and explore it to advance research in ultra-wide band gap (UWBG)...
Reforming land at the resource frontier in the face of green economy expansion: Changing property regimes in East African drylands
Climate change and biodiversity loss are increasingly presented as an interconnected environmental crisis in need of a global scaling up investments for its mitigation.While the ur...
