Researchers: ”Beware of complex corona models – they can surpass reality”

Outstanding master's thesis

Frida Heskebeck is a recently employed PhD student at the Department of Automatic Control. She has been awarded a scholarship from the Karl-Erik Sahlberg Foundation for an outstanding master's thesis project in chemistry. The motivation: "Antibodies are target-searching drugs used for the treatment of severe diseases. The use of antibody-based drugs is, among other things, limited by expensive production methods. In her master's thesis, Frida gives an excellent description of how advanced process methods can contribute to improved antibody production. The presentation of results and suggestions of 'Future Work' is done excellently in the thesis."

"We want to help healthcare with more types of equipment"

Lund Formula Student

The department has a collaboration with the Lund Formula Student team, who are developing a fully autonomous race car to compete in Formula Student events all across Europe.
