Hanno Holzinger’s PhD Story

What happens when you spend years studying something as ordinary as water — and discover it behaves in ways nobody expected? Hanno Holzinger set out to understand how cellulose nanofibres and water interact, and ended up uncovering something that challenged the basic assumptions of his field. His PhD taught him that the deeper you go, the less certain everything becomes — and why that's actually the most exciting place to be.

SwedNess Town Hall: Upcoming Call for Next Generation PhD Students

SwedNess invites researchers, industry representatives, and other interested stakeholders to join a Town Hall meeting about the upcoming call for the next generation of SwedNess PhD projects funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet).

SwedNess formar nästa generation neutronforskare – Framtidens Forskning

The Swedish research school SwedNess has, over the past ten years, trained a new generation of experts in neutron scattering. Through international postdoctoral projects, researchers such as Samira Dorri and Monika Rolinska continue to advance materials science and contribute to the work at ESS

Neutronvetenskap rampar upp svensk forskning -NyTeknik

When the ESS neutron source outside Lund begins operation early next year, researchers trained through SwedNess will be ready. In addition to fundamental research on the properties of matter, they will also be able to provide valuable expertise to Swedish industry.

Edvin Tobias Bokvist Wrammerfors’s PhD Story

Knee joints bear the full weight of a lifetime of movement, yet the tissues behind this remain surprisingly difficult to study. This project explored whether techniques from large-scale research facilities - synchrotron phase-contrast tomography, neutron tomography, and quasi-elastic neutron scattering - could offer a clearer view of how cartilage and meniscus break down in osteoarthritis.
