Strategic mobility 2021 – they receive funding!
For the fifteenth year in a row, the beneficiaries of SSF Strategic Mobility (SM 21) have now been appointed. Ten million SEK is divided between nine projects. The purpose of the program is to give researchers the opportunity to grow by changing research environment for a time, to go from academia / research institute to business / government / hospital, or vice versa.
This year’s project spans over a wide range of areas, from being able to diagnose respiratory infections more quickly with the help of biosensors in patients’ exhaled air, to energy-efficient AI by creating hardware more similar to the human brain with so-called memristors.
Here are the ten projects that will receive the 2021 grant:
| Applicant | Project title | Mobility | Grant (SEK) |
| Mattias Borg | Robust neuromorphic computing using ferroelectric memristors | Lund University -> Ericsson Research | 1 328 800 |
| Saikat Chatterjee | Explainable Machine Learning based Early Warning System | KTH – Royal Institute of Technology ->Karolinska University Hospital |
1 166 000 |
| Tobias Gebäck | Mechanistic modelling of nanoparticle formulations | Chalmers University of Technology ->Astra Zeneca | 1 060 000 |
| Stefan Jonsson | MRI Described by Flow Equations for Pathological Diagnosis | KTH – Royal Institute of Technology-> Karolinska University Hospital | 1 270 000 |
| Malin Lindstedt | Advancing cancer immunotherapeutics | Lund University->Alligator Bioscience AB | 1 239 955 |
| Gemma Mestres | Biosensor for early diagnostic of low respiratory infections | Uppsala University->Q-linea | 1 095 700 |
| Rafael Puerta | Photonics-assisted High-capacity Cell-free Networks for 6G | Ericsson AB ->KTH – Royal Institute of Technology | 553 267 |
