This years SSF Industrial Doctoral Student Projects are…
SSF’s grant will go to research and postgraduate training for an industrial doctoral student, in collaboration with industry and academia. The grant covers a period of four to five years and will result in a doctoral degree (PhD). SSF is funding 12 projects with 3.25 million kronor each.
This year’s industrial doctoral project involves developing a sensor that can measure the quantity and quality of drug molecules directly during manufacturing. Another focuses is on improving a special additive manufacturing (a way of building materials layer by layer) to obtain a stronger and more uniform material for aircraft components. As new research shows that vaping increases lung damage caused by viruses, one of the industrial doctoral projects wants to continue the research – to understand what is happening at the cellular level, which in turn could lead to new and better therapy for lung diseases.
