Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics

Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics is a factually wide institution with many successful teams, recognized education programs and appreciated teachers. Our research results are often presented at international conferences.

We have research in areas such as wood, composites, metals, mechanics and energy. We deal with issues such as processes in gasification and combustion, or how to optimize designs for performance and production.

Among our engineering programs are Sustainable Energy Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. We have an international program in Materials Engineering and among our newer programs are Bachelor of Science in Power Engineering. The good cooperation with the industry provides students an opportunity to work with sharp project tasks in their education.

Focus on Materials of the future

How can cars become lighter? How can the manufacturing process of vehicles become more energy-efficient? One possible solution is an increased use of composites – materials that are light and strong. Next week, researchers from 30 countries gather in Luleå for the international conference on Flow Processing in Composite Materials.

Optimized hydropower paves the way for a sustainable energy system

The introduction of renewable energy sources, such as wind power, gives hydropower an important role as regulating power, so that production of electricity generation can be adjusted depending on how much it blows. This causes more starts and stops, which increases wear and tear on hydroelectric power plants. A new doctoral dissertation now presents research that can reduce these problems.

Reshaped laser beam provides great benefits

Laser welding is an excellent technique for making products lighter, stronger and more environmentally friendly. By reshaping the laser beam, the temperature can be customized, resulting in higher quality and a greatly reduced welding time. The results are now presented in a doctoral dissertation at Luleå University of Technology.
