High fidelity modeling of fusion processes
The proposed project primarily focuses on the development and analysis of efficient and reliable numerical methods for approximating conservation laws. Our main application is mode...
The topological magnetoelectric effect in magnetic topological insulator heterostructures
In the presence of time-reversal symmetry (TRS), topological insulators (TIs) support gapless, linearly-dispersed fermion excitations on their surfaces, characterized by spin-momen...
Functional characterizations to model host-pathogen interactions during malaria transmission
Host competence in relation to infectious agents and vector-borne disease is one of mankind’s biggest challenges in today’s world where global warming is a fact and globetrotting i...
Extreme drought effects on legacy and technology-critical elements in streams (X-STREAM)
Increased frequency and duration of extreme droughts are predicted to cause some of the most severe climate change effects globally.Droughts threaten water quality in northern bore...
How do trees survive the winter?
Trees - essential for civilization - can adopt two different strategies to handle the winter; deciduous shed their leaves in the autumn while evergreen retain them.A main challenge...
Quantitative analysis of non-equilibrium systems from short experiments
Non equilibrium systems abound in nature on all scales. However, general principles that guide their working are not known. A common feature of ALL non-equilibrium systems is howev...
Decolonizing Research Methodologies: A Research School supporting empirical data collection, fieldwork relations, ethical challenges, and transnational approaches
This programme aims to support the creation, organization, and the implementation of an interdisciplinary research school that would bring together Burkinabe, Malian, Swedish, and...
Plasticity of plant vascular development in response to environmental stress
Plant root xylem cells show extensive developmental plasticity generating cell fate changes and enhanced differentiation rates when exposed to water deficiency. This is signalled b...
Does hybridization fuel biodiversity? Unravelling the genetic causes of phenotypic diversification in island endemic lizards
One of the most striking features of biodiversity is how unevenly it is distributed.Particularly fascinating are hyper-diverse clades (e.g., species, genera), in which closely rela...
Functions of small proteins in bacterial physiology and virulence
High-throughput sequencing has generated millions of genome sequences, from which potential functions are inferred by gene prediction.To avoid excessive annotation of hypothetical...
Magnetic heterostructures optimized for spin-orbit torque magnetization switching and terahertz emission
In this research project we will study magnetic heterostructures consisting of novel combinations of ferromagnetic (FM) and non-magnetic (NM) high spin-orbit coupling (SOC) materia...
Validating Soma Design
The purpose of this project is to assess validity in interaction design processes, with a take-off in soma design.Recent developments in technological materials shape novel types o...
Biotransformation and dissolution of metallic nanoparticles at physiologically-relevant conditions - influence of cells, biomolecules and bacteria/biofilms.
Metallic nanoparticles are extensively used in a variety of different applications, including, for instance, consumer, food packaging, and industrial products.However, they are als...
Lipid-based drug delivery systems - stability, protein interaction and leakage in blood plasma with varying composition
Delivery of pharmaceutical substances to patients requires formulations that protects the active substance and ensures desired release in the body. An approach in parenteral delive...
Highly efficient carbon-dot light-emitting diodes with delayed fluorescence
The overall purpose of the project is to develop light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) carbon dots.Specific project aims are: 1) to u...
The Topological Inverse Problem For Functional Materials: A New Chapter In The Geometrization Of Physics
The recent classification of all symmetry-indicated topologies in crystals has led to the identification of thousands of Topological Materials (TM).Yet, the predictive design of fu...
Unraveling the interactions among herbivory, vegetation structure and climate
Humans affect mammal diversity and density, and vegetation drives global climate.Although not previously properly investigated, these two processes share the fundamental intermedia...
High repetition rate and high photon energy attosecond pulse sources for time-resolved spectroscopy and imaging
This project shifts the boundaries of ultrafast laser technology in order to realize novel, high power and high repetition rate attosecond pulse sources in the extreme ultraviolet...
Towards efficient resistance genes-, microbiota and farmers’ indigenous knowledge-based strategy to inhibit the effect of coffee berry disease (CBD)
Ethiopia has unique position in harboring both cultivated and wild arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) and serving as a primary source of its genetic diversity. The wild (forest and se...
Quantitative universality in random matrix theory
This project proposal studies the local eigenvalue behavior of several random matrix models.We aim to strengthen the edge universality by establishing a broad framework to derive q...
