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.

Study the effect of long-term oxygen deficiency

Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have developed a method to study how muscle cells in the blood vessels of the lung, permanently contract because of long-term oxygen deficiency. This phenomenon leads to increased pressure in the vessels of the lung and the strain on the heart increases. The effect is evident in lung diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic; Insufficient oxygen exchange due to disturbed lung function can lead to death during infections.

Taking steps towards lighter cars

Requirements for lighter and stronger materials in the automotive industry opens the way for aluminum – though there are still problems in the hot forming process. Justine Decrozant-Triquenaux has brought science closer to a solution in her licentiate thesis.

Groundbreaking methods for district heating and district cooling

In a new project, researchers at Luleå University of Technology will optimize systems for district heating and district cooling by utilizing flexibility in the systems. The project aims to optimize the flexibility in the district energy sector.

"The snow and skiing attracted me"

Emma Nordekvist from Västerås reads the fourth year at the Master Programme in Mechanical Engineering. Recently, she read a semester in South Korea, which was a very rewarding experience, and foreign studies is something she recommends.
