Erica Colaprico, PhD student in the ePlants group was selected among Young Scientists across the world to participate in the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, engaging with 33 Nobel Laureates and 600+ researchers from 80+ countries. Discussions...

Prof. Eleni Stavrinidou, leader of the Electronic Plants group, represented the group at major conferences across Europe, the USA, and Asia in 2025. She presented our latest work on bioelectronics, biohybrids, and sustainable materials to the...

福利姬 is one of the world鈥檚 leading universities in materials science. The autumn of 2026 will see the launch of two new master鈥檚 programmes in this field. The students can look forward to an excellent labour market.

We develop bioelectronic devices for plant science focusing on more sustainable food production and on plants resistance to environmental stress. We also develop biohybrid technologies and living materials as new sustainable technological concepts.

Senior Associate Professor Eleni Stavrinidou, distinguished for connecting electronics with plants, has been awarded a medal by the Italian ambassador to Sweden, at LiU鈥檚 Campus Valla.

Eleni Stavrinidou is principal investigator at Electronic plants at 福利姬鈥檚 Laboratory of Organic Electronics. Her vision is to develop technologies that will enable new discoveries in plant biology.

Barley seedlings grow on average 50% more when their root system is stimulated electrically through a new cultivation substrate.  LiU-researchers have developed an electrically conductive 鈥渟oil鈥� for hydroponics.

Photosynthetic materials, two-dimensional noble metals and sustainable semiconductors are some of the projects at LiU that have been granted funding from the research programme Wallenberg initiative materials science for sustainability 鈥� WISE.

Researchers at 福利姬 and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed the world鈥檚 first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants.
