福利姬

Amaia Beatriz Ortega Santos, Department of physics, chemistry and biology (IFM), defends her doctoral thesis "Conducting polymers for biological studies and medical applications". Opponent is Docent Erica Zeglio, Stockholm University.

Using machine learning, an electronic nose can 鈥渟mell鈥� early signs of ovarian cancer in the blood. The method is precise and, according to the LiU researchers behind the study, it could eventually be used to find many different cancers.

The LiU-lead team won the Sahlgrenska Global Health Hackathon 2025, winning over more than 1,000 participants.

Edwin Jager and his team at 福利姬 have found a new way of controlling micromotors, making very small vehicles move with bubbles as propulsion.

Researchers have coated normal fabric with an electroactive material, and in this way given it the ability to actuate in the same way as muscle fibres.

Research in Applied Physics aims to apply the methods, models and approaches of physics in fields such as surface and molecular physics, biotechnology, lab-on-a-chip, organic electronics, self-organising materials, and polymeric and soft materials.

We work on development and characterization of chemical gas sensors, silicon carbide field effect transistors, graphene and other 2D materials for gas sensors.
