We focus our research on polymers for energy and sustainability. The activities span across macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, polymer self-assembly, and material structure and properties. We are especially motivated by the global challenges concerning energy and sustainability that drive the research for new multifunctional and high-performing polymer materials. This requires

Recent industrial interest in producing smaller volumes of products in shorter time frames, in contrast to mass production in previous decades, motivated the introduction of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings, as an attempt to increase flexibility in manufacturing applications by incorporating human intelligence and dexterity to these processes. This thesis presents methods for

In modern cancer therapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a vital part of most treatments. Most RT treatments in Sweden are performed using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with fixed or dynamic arc delivery. The dose gradients outside the target are steep, the margins are small, and the treatment delivery is complicated. Complicated treatments increase the requirement for control of the uncertaintiesIn modern cancer therapy, radiotherapy (RT) is a vital part of most treatments.

This thesis investigates the concept of synthetic inertia, especially in relation to wind power. Further, the ability of wind power to contribute with frequency regulating ancillary services, through synthetic inertia, to the power system is examined. Synthetic inertia is defined as a concept that encompasses a variety of techniques, production methods, and control strategies that provide the grid

This thesis is an approach to improve electric hybrid vehicles with respect to fuel consumption and to fulfil the future intended NOX emission regulations. It is based upon the conclusions made in the licentiate thesis Analysing Hybrid Drive System Topologies (Jonasson, 2002). The study in this thesis is restricted to a parallel hybrid vehicle equipped with a diesel engine, two electric machines

In this thesis a simulation model is presented that enables a comparison of different hybrid topologies, with respect to fuel consumption, emissions and performance. The obtained results stress the properties of the different topologies and form a foundation for the choice of hybrid topology. The simulation models included in this thesis are the result of collaboration with Petter Strandh at the D

Engaging with the challenge of low carbon transitions and climate impacts requires new academic and political work. It involves more than an assessment of the feasibility, effectiveness and legitimacy of particular technologies, incentives, institutions or policies to address short-term targets and timetables. As such, in the domain of climate change our political and ethical choices are criticall

Popular Abstract in English In the age where there is a great demand of energy, raise in the prices of fossil fuels and increase of environmental concerns because of the greenhouse gas emissions, biogas production through anaerobic digestion, of different organic materials, provides a full or partial solution. There is a large number of cheap substrates as organic waste materials that can be utili

Anders Mikkelsen, Professor at Lund University and Director of NanoLund will present his research about an artificial neural network that is inspired by the central navigation complex in the insect brain. This seminar is given in the frame of series that is organized by the three nanoscience hubs located in the Copenhagen-Lund area. The aim is to to increase awareness about our mutual capabilities

Only three days after the beginning of the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima, Japan, on 11 March 2011, the German government ordered 8 of the country's 17 existing nuclear power plants (NPPs) to stop operating within a few days. In summer 2011 the government put forward a law - passed in parliament by a large majority - that calls for a complete nuclear phase-out by the end of 2022. These governmen

This thesis dwells upon the synthesis of system-theoretical tools to understand and control the behavior of nonlinear networked systems. This work is at the crossroads of three topics: synchronization in coupled high-order oscillators, inverse optimal control and the application of inverter-based power systems. The control and stability of power systems leverages the theoretical results obtained f

Stakeholders are voicing concerns over the social and environmental impacts of components of Europe’s renewable energy strategy that will significantly increase the region’s demand for forest biomass. Energy companies must address these concerns if they are to manage financial, reputational, regulatory and competitive risks. Sustainability schemes may help reduce such risks by increasing the socia
