Research areas Research areas Applied Health Technology Our research focuses on the areas of healthcare and health science. The common thread is applied health technology, i.e., how health is affected by using new technology and how technical research can contribute to promoting healthy lives. Computer Science Research in computer science concerns theoretical and practical aspects of data processing and related applications in big data and AI, IT security, distributed and sensor systems, as well as visual and interactive computing. Industrial Economics and Management Our research focuses on the interaction between technology, innovation, and industrial dynamics. Entrepreneurship and its significance for sustainable growth and societal development are also studied. Mathematics and Applications We conduct research in mathematics, physics, mathematical statistics, and applied mathematics with a particular focus on algebra, geometry, astrophysics, nonlinear dynamics, population health studies, and traffic network modelling. Mechanical Engineering Our research focuses on digital product development and construction where new tools and methods are in focus to support companies when they develop new innovative and sustainable solutions. Software Engineering Our research focuses on enabling companies from all domains to improve how they invent, develop, and evolve their software. Software is part of every product and service which makes software engineering critical for society. Spatial Planning Our research focuses on control mechanisms that affect spatial planning and how planning processes are initiated and controlled. The environmental and sustainability effects of planning are also studied. Strategic Sustainable Development Our research focuses on methodological support for organisations that want to work strategically with sustainability, that is, that want to contribute to a sustainable society in ways that strengthen their own organisation. Systems Engineering Our research covers sensors, signals, and systems. The focus is on radar, marine technology, computer vision, measurement technology, remote sensing, medical technology, applied statistics, autonomous systems, transport system analysis and electromagnetic modelling.
