Our major research interest centers around finding efficient and sustainable ways to utilize carbon dioxide as a C1 feedstock, Nitrogen reduction, green hydrogen production. We are also interested in projects related to water purification via chemical & electrochemical PFAS remediation.
Our research focus is sustainable fuel production, especially hydrogen.
Black holes are formed deep within dying massive stars and they signal a special evolution away from the canonical picture where the star explodes and leaves behind a neutron star. To probe these special evolutions and the formation pathways of black holes is a crucial link between our understanding of stellar evolution and gravitational wave astrophysics.
The new digital age that took off in the 1990s has created more opportunities for filmmakers and artists to visualize new imaginary futures and to raise questions about human embodiment and gender norms in a highly technological society.
Being a cultural being also means being a "gendered" being in the sense that ideas about body and gender affect both one's own living space and the ways in which society is organized. Therefore, questions related to sex, body, sexuality and gender have long been central in ethnology.
Cosmetic surgery is a current phenomenon that can raise many questions about the body, identity and relationships where the decision to undergo a surgical breast augmentation can raise concerns about how it is received and what consequences may follow in relationships with family and friends.
This project examines how the speech production system adapts when we change our body posture. We will investigate these adaptations by recording synchronized physiological, acoustic, and visual data — which together capture the complex patterns of the speech apparatus.
The project is investigating the social and developmental origins and consequences of overweight and obesity, negative body image, disordered eating and impaired psychological well-being over the life course and across generations of parents and children in South Africa and Sweden.
The desire to prevent and deter sexual violence has made "child privacy" a concept in an educational context, and in 2018 the preschool's privacy mission was expanded.
This project explores the temporal and spatial reconfiguration of contemporary borders as they govern the international mobility of different shades of migrant labour.
" Tolfterna " was an association founded by, among others, Ellen Key in 1892. Its goal was partly to give working class women the opportunity of popular education, partly to even out the differences between the bourgeois and the socialist women's movement through discussion groups. How did it work out in practice? What class-related tensions occurred?
During an infection, many physiological changes occur, such as activation of immune cells and fever, but that is not all.
Are brain structure and functional connectivity later in life influenced by midlife psychosocial work stress? Psychosocial stress at work has been suggested to play a role in the development of cognitive dysfunction, but evidence on the neural substrate (brain structure and function) of psychosocial work stress is scarce.
Particles emitted from car brakes contribute an increasingly important part to air pollution in cities, but little is known about the gases which are also emitted. In this project, we investigate the gaseous emissions from brakes and their fate in the atmosphere.
How can we understand why individuals become involved in cybercrime and how their criminal behaviour is shaped by digital environments? This project examines cybercrime from a criminological perspective, focusing on individuals, motivations, and learning processes, while exploring how established criminological theories can be developed to better explain different forms of cybercrime.
The book project “Bridging the Gender Pay Gap through Transparency” is about the gender pay gap, civil society and application of the principle of equal pay for equal work.
‘Bringing the social dimension into deforestation-free supply chain initiatives: Lessons from Europe’s beef and soy imports from Brazil’ is a three-year research project carried out by researchers at Stockholm University and Osnabrück University (2021-2023). The project is funded by Formas.
The EU-funded BRISQ project will combine trapped ion technology and Rydberg interaction to build a highly promising physical platform to host a scalable quantum computer.
The enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) catalyses the reaction that provides new DNA building blocks. RNR is therefore a prerequisite in all living cells, and also regulates cellular replication and proliferation. Some antiproliferative drugs (e.g. hydroxyurea and gemcitabine) that are used clinically today are specific inhibitors of RNR.
Since the universe was formed during the Big Bang, it has undergone a number of large-scale phase transitions.
