Mathematical discoveries can be hundreds of years old by the time they are applied to enable space travel, mobile telephony, quantum computers, DNA analysis, AI and much more. What today’s results will lead to is impossible to say. Mathematics provides tools, and without these tools the problems of tomorrow risk remaining unsolved, and ideas being […]

A sustainability perspective must be introduced early on in product development if it is to result in cost-effective and long-term competitive solutions. The research in sustainable product development takes place in close collaboration with industry. Professor Sophie Hallstedt together with PhD Jesko Schulte and PhD Matilda Watz in the sustainable product development research group, support […]

What would happen if there were to be an electricity blackout? It’s a common question we ask ourselves. Everything would be brought to a standstill. But what would happen if all the software were to disappear? The same thing, if you ask researchers at BTH who have helped the University claim its place as one […]

AI research at BTH focuses on the safe and efficient operation of software and cloud-based systems. Our researchers are also interested in data privacy in digital societies and data related to crime and safety. BTH conducts a substantial amount of research in artificial intelligence and machine learning. One of those involved is Martin Boldt, associate […]

BTH is developing an expert research team in industrial economics and management. BTH is already strong in measuring the effects of change, such as political change, but the field of efficiency and productivity analysis is relatively new and we now aim to become the leader in Sweden and an important player internationally. The researchers are […]

Signal processing enables smart cities and self-driving vehicles, the development of pacemakers and hearing aids, automatic image enhancement, mapping of the Earth’s surface, weather forecasts and climate models. Even the altitude variations on Venus have been mapped.  Mattias Dahl is a professor of systems engineering and Mats Pettersson is a professor of electrical engineering. Both work with systems engineering at BTH and […]

The only thing around us that is not consciously developed is nature – everything else is developed by the human hand. Product development is the deliberate process to create those things we use in our daily lives. Cars, aeroplanes, milk cartons, everything is product developed. Professor Tobias Larsson is a researcher in product development and […]

The research in visual and interactive computer science is often associated with gaming technology, however, that is only one part of all the possibilities that exist. For example, it can be used for surgeons to practise an intervention, for training for disaster responses or to use everyday objects in the 1500s. The research focuses on […]

BTH has participated in producing Sweden’s first national innovation agenda for underwater technology and the researchers see many areas of use – outside the marine industry too. “Energy and security are two major societal challenges where we can play a part”, says Oskar Frånberg, researcher and representative for the National Centre for Underwater Technology at […]
