Cell-type specific lignification in plant vasculature
Lignin is a complex phenolic polymer which provides rigidity and hydrophobicity to the vascular xylem tissues of plants, but it also entails recalcitrance of the lignocellulosic ma...
Deleterious age-amplified mutations and the evolution of ageing
Ever since Medawar and Williams published their tremendously influential theories of the evolution of ageing half a century ago (Mutation Accumulation [MA] and Antagonistic Pleiotr...
Biomechanichal effects of ultrasound exposure at the intra- and extracellular level
The main goal of the present proposal is to investigate biomechanichal effects at the sub-cellular length scale caused by ultrasonic exposure to miniaturized in vitro cell cultures...
Prediction and Coordination for Conversational AI
Being able to interact with machines through spoken language, in the same fluent and intuitive way we communicate with each other, has been a long-standing vision in both science f...
Tracing carvers on the rocks
Swedish Bronze Age rock art (1700–500 BC) constitutes one of the world’s richest prehistoric legacies. Rock Art has been used as evidence to discuss ideas about ideology, religion,...
Understanding the regulation and the function of a central regulatory circuit orchestrating meiotic gene expression during mammalian spermatogenesis
Sperm development—central to male reproductive health—comprises an intricate and exquisitely programmed process of stem cell self-renewal, meiosis, and differentiation. The orderly...
Gas Gospels: Un/Sustainable Development and Environmental Risk in Mozambique
This project proposes a research agenda concerning the intersection of sustainable development strategies vis-à-vis economic growth, offering an in-depth empirical study of the iss...
How to differentiate a rocky planet – insight from the basaltic volcanism of the Moon
The purpose of this project is to understand the evolution of the Moon’s mantle through time by deciphering the origin of the chemical characteristics of lunar basaltic rocks. To a...
Visualizing real-time regulatory dynamics in active membrane transport
Protein transporters uphold critical gradients across biological membranes. Complex regulatory machineries have evolved to ensure that the gradients exactly meet the requirements o...
Semantic Parsing of Multimodal Data
We address the problem of semantic parsing of multimodal data. In other words, the translation of composite media items such as a video with audio tracks and subtitles, or a news a...
Unearthing microbial “nutrient mining” as a driver of terrestrial biogeochemistry
Microorganisms break down soil organic matter (SOM), thus releasing nutrients to sustain global plant productivity. I will investigate how microbial demand for limiting resources d...
Practicing Food Sovereignty: Indigenous Peoples and Agroecological Relationships in the Eastern Himalayas
This study concerns indigenous communities and agricultural practices in four countries of the Eastern Himalaya region; Nepal, Bhutan, Chittagong Hill Tracks of Bangladesh and the...
Resilienta nätverkade system i fientliga miljöer
Game theory provides a set of powerful methodologies and concepts for the design of scalable algorithms for resource management in multi-agent networked system. Yet, existing game...
Neo-sex chromosome evolution: molecular mechanisms and evolutionary consequences of nascent sex chromosomes
Sex chromosomes arose independently several times in evolution from ordinary autosomal pairs by acquiring a sex determining region, followed by recombination suppression, accumulat...
In Search of Deconfined Quarks - with the ALICE experiment at the LHC
The goal of the project is to study extremely hot and dense QCD matter, the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), created in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, in particula...
Fundamental bounds in distributed decision-making
Distributed decision making systems arise in many engineering problems. Due to the nonclassical information structure of these problems, optimal decision and communication strategi...
Nuclear membrane proteins in chromatin organization, cell differentiation and disease.
The aim is to understand the role of nuclear membrane proteins in chromatin organization and cell differentiation, which have impact on aging and diseases associated with loss of h...
Multi-scale studies of aqueous neoteric liquids ─ ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents
Aqueous ionic liquids (ILs)/deep eutectic solvents (DESs) play an increasingly important role in developing technologies for emerging applications and behavior uniquely compared to...
The (Un)Emotional Engineer: Emotional Positioning and Scaffolding in Teaching and Learning about Wicked Sustainability Problems
Engineers play a crucial role in solving complex sustainability problems such as climate change and resource scarcity (here called “wicked problems”), but most contemporary enginee...
Nitrogen Cycling in Boreal Forests: A window into the past and future.
Boreal forests are responsible for the uptake of a significant portion of human CO2 emissions. During the past century boreal forest growth has increased, due to climate change and...
